The benefits of a cashless economy are:
  1. Cashless economy will enhance our current banking system. There will be increased access to credit for people who do not fall in any banking network.
  2. It will help in widening the bracket of tax payers. All the transactions are monitored and traced back to a given individual. It will be difficult to evade tax then.
  3. The risk of counterfeit currency is minimised as the circulation of notes is reduced.
  4. It will facilitate faster transfer of money to places across India. Making and receiving payments will be safe, convenient and hasslefree.
The challenges before India for becoming a cashless economy are:
  1. Lesser literacy rate among the population makes digital India a distant dream. People have to be made aware of how to use the digital medium to transact.
  2. In India, a lot of villages do not have uninterrupted electricity supply. In the absence of this, digital transactions are impossible.
