Standardized-APP is must and may solve the queue problems within 1 or 2 days, APP software should be given to the respective Banks and they may validate the A/C nos. and on first validations sum of cashless credits 2000 should be given to each customer now we may promote it like hotcake e.g Paytm or any govt. APP, after registration on the APP (standardized) it was very easy to handle the transactions for the 60% of the people and other 40% people may queue for the cash in Bank.

Main problem Regarding cashless online Transactions- sir, online payment systems are not standardized like our currency notes this is the main problem as we use the same currency note all over the world without any fear of validation/invalidation but online payment modules are not like this Paytm is neccessary for Paytm and same is the scenario for all the transactions. so some intermediate gateway of payment is necessary to make payment independent of the application used for the trransaction

Dear PM, One of the major problem associated with Debit card, credit card or online payment is about its security. Govt can ask the banks to issue prepaid card system, which can be used as wallet. The cost and speed of internet is major problem associated with e-wallet like paytm. Sir, I only suggest that people should use technology with adequate security.

Dear PM Can you please make minimum rent amount for all commercial property rent, either it is new tenant or old. Because old rented property have less rent compare to new rental property. Because of this old rent, business owner does not show an actual business. And it makes big loss of tax for government of India. Is it possible to decide minimum rental price as per Jantri rates.

Sh.Modi Ji, To teach and encourage the people who stay in villages, We can introduce cashless transaction methods in ration stores. With this act they will be able experience the card swiping transaction methods and wallet payment mode also. Ration store is the only option to teach our parents forcefully to go cashless.

Dear Sir, One of the major impediments in national development is our dependency on foreign companies for hardware components. Can the government invest resources and materialise the indigenous development and manufacturing of chips, processors for computers and mobiles? Increase in indigenous production of many small value electronic items for diverse applications will be a direct side-effect of this development and will help reduce the digital divide in our country. Regards, Apurba.
