  • No extra charge in cash payment as compared to electronic payment.
  • In rural areas most of the people still are not aware of cashless transaction.

Here are some advantages why should we prefer cashless transaction:-

  • It reduces the handling of cash and brings transparency.
  • There will be less availability of cash for illegal activities

People living in urban area are very much  comfortable as a part of cashless society, but people living in rural area still needs to be educated towards cashless transaction and we the people can reduce this communication gap by educating them.
