Hi.

A cashless economy means there is no physical contact between the receiver and sender.

Merits:

It very uses full for government to monitor heavy transactions. And it helps to reduce corruption. It helps to reduce the paperwork. It saves time. Overall it is very safe who well educated about technology and operations in net banking.

Demerits:

In India technology developed only in metropolitan cities. Awareness about online frauds was not up to the mark. It is very tough to go for cashless payments who don't have a proper education in online payment.

Let's first understand the term 'cashless economy', cashless means exchange of funds by the use digital money and economy means the prosperity and earnings of particular place or area.

In this world, everything has it's own merits and demerits. Similarly, if we talk about the merits of Cashless Economy, some of them are that it eliminate the paperwork, it saves the time, speed up the official work, eliminate the long queues in bank, help in the development of the Digital India and there are many more.

Now, if we move forward towards the demerits of Cashless Economy, one of the demerit is that it is of no use for illiterate people, some time transaction also get failed at the time of urgency.

Online fraud is one of the most common demerit of Cashless Economy, anyone can be the victim of online fraud.

Government is doing their work in this field but all over what we have to do is that we have to become more aware, more preventive while making the use of digital money or while doing online transactions.

Hi everyone,

In my opinion, the cashless economy is in comparison to cash eco. Has many benefits and advantages.

There was a time when we use to deal with every financial activity with cash only whether it was purchasing property, vehicle or any other commercial transactions and no doubt there were problems in doing so.

Problems such as long queues in banks, shops, corruption due to no transactional record, delay in work etc.

Upcoming decades after 2040 will have a cashless economy, this will save time along with paper and inks that we use now for printing notes.

First of all, we understand what is a cashless economy.

So the economic term is related to money, wealth.

But cashless economy means when the transaction is not based on paper notes, coin in short the transaction is done by without cash is called cashless economy so here all transactions in the form of using digital money like bitcoin, cryptocurrency.

According to me, the cashless economy is better because it reduces corruption or illegal money also helps to reduce the risk of keeping money through oneself.

Also, it helps to speed up transactions so time reducing.

It helps people to easy access for buying or purchasing something.

It can be used everywhere no need to hold a pocket.

But it has some demerits like it has major risks like cybercrime.

Specialized skills are required so common people not understand easily this type of transaction in the market.

Illiteracy is the major problem across cashless economy.
