Abstract

For every economy, money is considered as the life blood. Money emerged when the unlimited wants of humans were not met through the barter system. Money forestalls “the double coincidence of wants”. Demonetization strips a currency unit of its status as a legal tender. On 8th November, 2016 around 8 p.m., the Prime Minister of India brought the demonetization with the statement that with effect from 9th November 2016 Rs.500 and Rs.1000 rupees' currency notes are invalid except in some essential services for the time being. The demonetization has several aims of eradicating black money, removing counterfeit notes, stopping money laundry and so on. Apart from these direct and primary aims it focuses on encouraging cashless transactions as well. Cashless transaction uses credit and debit cards, online payment gateways and digital wallets for financial transactions. This conceptual paper attempts to study the demonetization process in India and its impact on cashless transactions.
