As a matter of fact, Cash is King but things have changed and that’s not the case anymore. Indeed, Digital payment systems have spread like wildfire, especially in the last three years. India has been one of the frontrunners when it comes to digital payments. According to a report by NITI Aayog, in FY 2016-17 itself, digital payments rose by 55% in India. According to a report by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), UPI users in India have crossed 100 million.

CPA Priyabrata Banerjee serves as an eye-opener by warning the public about the financial fraud taking place at the moment. Even though the Covid 19 Pandemic helped boost the industry and made it possible to buy even the smallest of goods from anywhere in India through online payments, the risk of fraud has also grown over time. Digital payments are the only way to prevent up to 90% of scams that are occurring through microfinance in the form of cash collection that either leads to robbery or other crimes.
Priyabrata Banerjee continues, “Transparency and accountability are tougher to achieve with cash payments since they are anonymous and difficult to trace. Digital payments can be performed swiftly and efficiently, which saves overall expenses. Digital payments improve tracking and accountability, reducing the likelihood of fraud and theft”. The fact that digital payments reduce the cost of delivering financial services to the poor and improve the simplicity and safety of utilizing savings, payment, and insurance products has led to their emergence as a key tool for increasing financial inclusion.
