Hello Everyone!
Today's topic is "Merits and Demerits of Cashless Economy".
So, to start with I want to explain what a cashless economy actually is. We are all aware of the UPI, mpockets, net banking, credit and debit cards and most recently the crypto-currencies. What all these actually do is nothing but give you the liberty to not carry your purse full of cash but then also being able to transfer or transaction of money in things.
I will be giving the possible merits that of course most of us are already experiencing are,
1. It is possible that you have money in your bank account but are out of cash now, this is the time when being cashless pays off.
2. If you were paying through cash then you need to pay that money to a physical person or place and for that, you might need to go somewhere else to pay that money, whereas only a device having active internet connection will save you for the day and you can get the works done from home itself.
3. You want to buy something expensive, handling that much cash may be proved to be really a hazard, while just a single swipe of your credit or debit card will be more than enough.
So,
Secure, easy, faster and authorization these are the fields where the cashless economy have its merits.
But, as there is a saying every coin has two sides one of it is good and the other bad, so, Cashless Economy is also no exception.
Possible demerits are,
1. You should be more alert while using digital currencies, if one's personal account details are known to someone else then they can easily hack through that account.
2. Sometimes the transactions are wrongly made due to the lesser speed of concerned internet connection, though we get the refund it causes a problem initially.
3. Till now the cashless economy hasn't been broadening for all the citizen of our country as an integral part of them are still finding it difficult to meet their both ends.
Finally, I want to conclude by saying that the merits of the Cashless Economy are obviously broader than the demerits it has which can be avoided with proper care while using. I personally am using it for quite a few years and obviously, it made my life simpler.
Thank You.

Hello everyone!
In the cashless economy, we have both merits and demerits and I would like to agree with the statements of merits and demerits give by all the above participants such as.
-we can avoid the corruption.
-we can maintain the transparency.
-we can save the lots of peoples time -.
-we can save lots of paper wastage.
-ink wastage. Etc as merits and.
-lack of knowledge to the illiterate people.
-lack of security ect.
But, still we can work out with the technology to avoid the demerits such as.
-providing the fingerprints, face recognition to avoid security problems.
-Acknowledging the rural people while they buy their smartphone like (govt was giving the training to the people who wants to learn driving and they certify by the driving test) they have to acknowledge them how we can use the smartphones and the how to use cashless economy.
So, everyone can enjoy the cashless economy happily.
Thank you.

Hello everyone.
According to me, the cashless economy is the need of this generation, no one has time to stand in the bank queues.
Also, our govt takes initiative so that it reaches to each n every person in the country, in the remote areas too. Bheem app is so easy to operate even an illiterate person can handle it very well.
But we need to give time and keep patience.
Everything has drawbacks but the cashless transaction has more pros than cons.

Without any doubt, the cashless economy is a wonderful concept. It checks the risk of theft of both life and property. Cashless directly or indirectly keeps us burden free. Here the transaction of the bigger amount can be done in a fraction of second but along with that as we know that everything in this world has both merit and demerits so this concept also has the both. The main demerit is that the stealing of important information and data security but although it can be checked by various measures.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Some ideas change a whole world and that one is cashless and cashless comes from digitisation. Cashless growing rapidly due to easily available of Mobile. Cashless do our work more easy by a single click on button. Like :- If you want to pay money anyone anywhere through cashless traction.
But this is totally depend on network if it network is fail then may snarl in poblem. That is why villages person are not use easily.

It is wonderful to discuss. 2 years back I have a mobile and it is only for playing games chatting with friends and spent time on social sites. But when the cashless transaction started. I use my mobile totally different now. I can pay electricity bills, I fill the online forms and do the transactions very easily. And by it, corruption is also Less. But there are issues in rural areas people don't know about the cashless economy and. In cashless transactions. There is an issue of security. But this problem is solved nowadays. So, Only one issue to educate the rural areas people how to use these platforms.
Thank you so much for listening to me patiently.

Of course, the cashless economy very beneficial for us to progress in our country. It helps us to provide money any time and anywhere in the universe. Earlier on the occasion of festival banks are off, ATM was not available in villages so people have to suffer many problems for money. But now digitization has removed this problem. But every villagers are not able for using mobiles Internet. So there are same problems people have to face. I see when I go to bank there bankers were not providing good service to illiterate peoples, and they are not use the digital facilities. This are the some problems which India have to face.
