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.

Hello everyone,

I am here to give my opinion on a given topic.

So, first of all cashless economy is a very good initiative taken by the government. As you all know there are always two sides to anything like coins one is positive and the other is negative. So first of all we will see the merits of a cashless economy.

Merits:

It is a very easy, simple process that doesn't consume much time.
No need to carry much cash with us so there is no tension of robbery safety is achieved.
No worries about change.
Control on black money.
Proof and record of the transaction is maintained.
No need to print cash and thus time and work is saved.
We can give an exact amount to anyone.
No confusion in calculating what amount should we return or got in the market.
Sometimes in the market due to a shortage of change, we are unable to buy something but due to a cashless economy, this problem is resolved.

Demerits:

A strong network connection is required.
Cybercrime is the problem with a cashless economy.
Some chances of frauds are there if we are not alert all time.
In rural areas, some people still don't know how to do mobile banking and internet banking so they can't go with a cashless economy.
But the overall cashless economy is becoming fruitful to digital India.

Thank you.

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.

Good evening everyone.

I am Nikhil Krishna Kumar.

Firstly,

Thanks for giving me this opportunity and today's topic is cashless economy.

Firstly, we want to understand what is a cashless economy it means there is no physical transaction of money and the money is transferred directly from one bank account to another bank account by using a digital payment method.

Advantages of the cashless economy.

1. Fast and secure transaction of money.
2. Reduce paper consumption.
3 it will reduce theft.
4 it reduces corruption and black money.

The cashless economy has its own merits and demerits.

If we discuss merits.

India is populated country every government office and banks are always crowded in order to complete the required task you have to waste some of your working hours and have to stand in queue doing nothing hence cashless economy makes every transaction easy.

And coming to demerits.

India is a country with more no. Of villages where most people are illiterates or unaware of cashless payments because of which they are not ready to go cashless.

Hence before making India as the cashless economy, it's the duty of government to implement it in a good manner.

Before see the merits and demerits of Cashless economy first we understand what is cashless economy. Cashless economy is a such type of dispensation in which any type of financial transaction, debits, credits are done by digital process or information and not by any physical thing like coin, note.

Mainly if we will see the merits, its really reduce human efforts like that we have really not need to go to the bank for several hours and also not need to stand in queue, we can easily send and credit money just by apps in mobile, we can pay bills by this in just few minutes, we can pay shopkeepers by it, also cashless economy is really increasing digital marketing like zomato, flipkart, etc. Most important is that it reduces corruption, black money. You can send money in just 2 minutes to your family by paytm, tez, it is also a big merit.

If we will see the demerits lot of people in India are uneducated so really they do not know the process for digital transaction and also lot of people have really not have even bank accounts so they will be victimize from cashless economy. And there also a big demerit that digital money is not safe properly because of cyber attack and others internet problems. Mainly conservative peoples really refrain cashless economy due to safety problem.

Conclusion- Mainly cashless economy helps people in several manner, it reduces human efforts, black money, bribes, extortion, tax problems, but in India it should be not implemented because lot of people does not know how to use it and it have safety problems also.
