Dear PM Move towards cashless is a great move towards eradicating black money. Now to give shape to this mission, we need a solid action plan. Encouraging through radio and TV for going digital may not yield enough confidence unless we physically demonstrate, how simple it is to digital illiterate or semi-literate. Suggest to show in TV a demo, how to create a digital wallet and then how to do the transaction through this wallet. Will help in generating confidence among the common mass.

Respected PM, There are many house-owners across different locations in the country who do the one or more of the following malpractices:They give their house(s) on rent, but do not share their PAN with the tenant. They force the tenant to pay the rent only in cash. Even if they file IT returns, they under-report / do not report this rental income and hence do not pay any income tax on that. What can we do to stop these malpractices ? Make stricter laws and enforce them. Thanks !

Dear Sir, Happy with push to"less Cash" society. Trying to pay small vendors and housemaids without success. The issue is they haven't enabled mobile banking. So can not receive funds through UPI apps like TruePay, PhonePe etc. Suggestion (1) Provide single UPI app across all banks. It is confusing with many UPI apps (2) Auto-enable all accounts seeded with mobile number for fund receipt through mobile banking (3)Provide default bank option if multiple bank accounts exist

Dear PM, as there are mobile rechaging centers, there should be "e walate " recharging centers (under direct control of various banks)So that there is no need to go to bank web site.people can deposit 2000 rs note and payfor PAYTM Mobile number be the unique identity of transact The centers can be opened in bank for the account holders, which can provide recharge of e walate up to rs 20000 per mth by taking cheques. This will avoid apprehension in public mind about hacking of bank account.
