Many trees cut down for producing paper for note. And it is very hazarded for us. In the rural area, there is a lot of network problem. Rustic people are not well acquainted with the digital system and its uses.

Cashless Economy refers to the money which is not in terms of paper format which is used for buying or selling something. Economy is nothing but a tool which is used in helping the things to buy or sell something which is needed for us.

Thank you, friends.

India is the second-largest smartphone market, would benefit a lot from going cashless. Every year India's smartphone penetration grows exponentially. India's biggest problem it's corruption will be greatly addressed. Using online transaction means there will be a online receipt of a transaction which cannot be removed from the company's server or either of the people.

- A successful example of the digital economy would be Africa in which 92% of the economy is cashless. People have to create a mpesa account which can be accessed through SMS service and money can be transferred through the same way.

- Another example is Sweden in the the entire economy is cashless. In addition to being corruption free, the country has also low crime rates in terms of snatching and stabbing during robbery.

- Bringing the economy to a digital platform will make it easier to trace back black money or laundering cases.

- This vision is in effect in India. The government launched a program in 2015 DIGITAL INDIA with a similar objective.

1. Curbing the issue of black money.
2. Digitizing government services.
3. Digital literacy to the masses.

- Cashless economy means no standing in queues,

Accessing government services, reduce the hassle of paperwork.

- Digital literacy may be the biggest plus point as education means empowerment and people are empowered the country's progress.

- A similar trend picked up the pace from the last 2year which was BITCOIN, a cryptocurrency, decentralized network of payment with its own form of money which each transaction is recorded in every user so that the receipt of that transaction is never erased.

- In addition to being advantageous economically, technology-wise it will be fruitful as developing the platform will need engineers and it's maintenance too, so technological advancements will take place.

- As the transaction can be traced back it will a great help legally.

- Environmentally it will be good as our paper dependency will be greatly reduced.

Demerits:

1. The people in rural will have to be trained to deal with the online platform.

2. The biggest threat will be CYBERSECURITY. Keeping the network afloat means there should be no downtime in the servers and cyber threats will have to carefully monitored and scrutinized.

Hackings, viruses will have to be controlled.

India last year had about 30million cybersecurity threats. If the cashless economy continues by 2025 India will need about 10 million cybersecurity professional which would deal in building the network, maintaining it, averting viruses, hackings, back door entries, etc.

But in conclusion, a cashless economy will benefit a lot creating more jobs better jobs, literacy rate will be increased, government services will take a shorter time, corruption will take toll for the good and India dream of a 5 trillion economy will be fulfilled.

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.

Every coin has two sides.

As well as this topic has merit and demerit. If talk about the merits. Are server merits?

1) if our country is cashless so we grow our economy because there is no existing black money.

2) Taxpayer increases.

3) Many apps will launch. When the app is launched employment is automatic increases and then when employment increases so demand is also increased when in demand is increases economy automatically more growing.

4) if our country is digestion in the money sector so small banks also grow up because they provide loans and they take interest from people.

If Talk about demerits.

1) Everyone has not purchased a digital phone so how can they survive in this era.

2) And what about cyber security there is a lot of fraud in digitalization and cashless.

3) The person does not know how to use mobile and how to use phone pay and Google Pay how to they use.

In my point of view there are many merits when compared to dermits using cashless economy because by using the online transactions we can save our time cashless economy van also avoid corruption in India.

The dermits are in India still there is a iileteracy so they don't know how to do transactions in online and there is a network problems in rural areas.
