Do we need cashless transactions? what modes of cashless transactions

Answer 1

Yes,

Going cashless not only eases one's life but also helps authenticate and formalize the transactions that are done. This helps to curb corruption and the flow of black money which results in an increase of economic growth. The expenditure incurred in printing and transportation of currency notes is reduced.

What are the modes of cashless transaction?

In cashless transactions, payments are made or accepted without the use of hard cash. This includes payments made via credit/debit cards, cheques, DD, NEFT, RTGS or any other form of online payment that removes the need for cash.
