POS of sale services are not available to all vendors ,take some initiatives of getting enrolled as many as possible.I have something to share ,as this small vendors to take community or bazaar POS where all their payments can be taken at one point, the whole day the POS will accept payments and at the end of the day the amount will be sent to their respective account.Thus petty jobs will also be created

Dear Modi sir, we are with you . I believe to increase cash less transaction, give some very little cash back or discount from their transaction for a limited period of time. if we request, many traders are ready to give the discount for the same. It will encourage them to go for cashless transction. Sir , at the same time intensify the very strict and stringent law against the Crime in electronic cash thefts.

All Cash withdrawals from Bank should attract 2% Cash Transaction Tax. No Tax to Deposit Cash. All Non Cash Transactions done via Debit Cards, Electronic Transfers etc should be free. This simple change will force public to stop using Cash as a medium of transaction
