    Great! So he accepts credit cards, so I don't have to give cash. I've got away with it over here.


    Mobile wallets, where you can load money onto an app, have been around for years and have been gaining in popularity too.


    But since the currency announcement has come in, some payment gateways have been seeing a rise of up to 400% in customers.


    Okay, that's great! So, he's accepting money via mobile wallets, but vegetables are an everyday item normally paid for in cash.


    So, are customers ready to go cashless?


    By taking this step, the government is hoping to get more people and businesses into the financial system, and this will also help increase tax revenues.


    So, there you have it! I managed to do most of the things without cash, but then I need cash for something that millions of Indians do every day: getting around town.


    Without everyone willing to turn to technology, even in these difficult times, the Indian government's hopes of becoming a 100% cashless economy could still be far off.

triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto

I'm here in Mumbai, where queues like this outside banks have become a common sight. And that's the story across the country.

Last week, the Indian government announced that 500- and 1,000-rupee notes would be completely abolished.

So, I want to find out how far I can get without a single penny in my wallet.

A lot of people who have suffered from this cash crunch are small businesses, who have to buy their goods upfront.

Now, businesses like this stall, something that you find on every street corner in a city like Mumbai.

Paan is a stuffed betel leaf, chewed by millions of Indians.

"Thank you!"

Great, so he accepts credit cards, so I don't have to give cash. I've got away with it over here.

Mobile wallets, where you can load money onto an app, have been around for years and have been gaining in popularity too.

But since the currency announcement has come in, some payment gateways have been seeing a rise of up to 400% in customers.

Thank you.

Okay, that's great! So, he's accepting money via mobile wallets, but vegetables are an everyday item normally paid for in cash. So, are customers ready to go cashless?

By taking this step, the government is hoping to get more people and businesses into the financial system, and this will also help increase tax revenues.

Cash?

So, there you have it! I managed to do most of the things without cash, but then I need cash for something that millions of Indians do every day: getting around town.

Without everyone willing to turn to technology, even in these difficult times, the Indian government's hopes of becoming a 100% cashless economy could still be far off.
