All of these days from the day demonetization of currency started, the Government is very well aware of the place named MYSURU because this place is contributing a lot and verymuch supportive to the Government's Demonetization plan. Dont the Govt thinks that MYSURU should be included in Smart City plan? Its a sincere request to the Govt on behalf of Mysuru peoples please initiate the smart city plan on Mysuru as soon as possible. Thank you one and all.

Most of the highest deposits in Jan-Dhan accounts have been made in states like U.P and W.B. Most of the deposits made in these A/c is black money, and the money deposited by illegal Bangladeshi immigrants/terrorists, who are getting their money exchanged and deposited fraudulently. This also explains why severe criticism of demonetization has come from opponents belonging to these states. More than 2 lakhs of illegal B'deshi intruders are living in Lucknow alone, illegally using smart/cell tec

can a mobile phone be your identity card? if yes, software which makes this possible and also to prevent theft. Most anti theft apps need active internet or cellular connection on the lost mobile. The first thing a thief does is to switch off a mobile, then remove sim cards, then hard reset phone and then change IMEI, so no chance of tracing them. Software should be capable of sending out signals even in switched off conditions because smart cash transactions can be safe if mobile is safe

Any deposits exceeding Rs. 10,000 in Jan-Dhan (Zero Balance Accounts),must be accompanied with an affidavit stating that the money being deposited belongs to the account holder/his family, and has been earned by them. Fixation of upper limit of deposit in Jan Dhan accounts at Rs. 50,000 is a welcome step. Withdrawal of money from Jan-Dhan accounts, deposited after 8th Nov, must be carefully regulated/ checked, as most of this money deposited after 8th Nov., is black money. Drkartikaypandey@gma

There is a big problem of mobile phone theft and hacking of IMEI numbers which are the only means to identify a phone. Software should be developed to curb this. Some suggestions: mandatory linking of aadhar numbers to the mobile phone, creation of nationwide database of all mobile phone purchases with id of both buyer and seller linked, locking of SIM card with the handset such that no activity is possible on the handset including hard reset without the SIM unlock

People will definitely use technology for daily transactios if they are given incentives like transaction charges are minimised. Vendors are awared to have paytm app or kiosk Keeping kiosk mandatory at all big shops Corporates are encouraged to use their innovation to make India cashless. As India is one of the biggest markets in the world,corporates too will get benefitted.e.g amazon,uber etc are making huge money(that too all digitally) Shopping malls cash transactions ban

To reduce Parking and pollution problem, we should waive off Service Tax on online taxi providers like UBER, OLA etc so that people will prefer taxis over their own vehicles.

Most of the corruption is in the Government department due to cash payment. If we can make facility of payment through Debit, Net baking ext .. in government offices than it will be very hard for gov. dep. ( like RTO, Police station, ext.) to take rishvat money from general public. So there should be swipe machine ext. To make habitual to public about cashless transaction, first all type of gov. payment should be cashless ,so small traders will take lession from this and will follow gov.

There must be compulsory card swaping machine in each Hospital. So that each and every expenses of made by the patients will be booked as Hospitals Income. The sharing practice may be reduced to some extent.
