And it's good way of controlling the peasants. I'd expect this from Beijing not Delhi.

Removes the hassle of you being able to control your cash as well. This isn't "Indian", this is happening worldwide.

@M3ganwillslay If you want to live in a prison, that is your choice, but it is not yours to make for others. This is a step back into the Middle Ages, but with better technology.

@nou4605 It's fact, not paranoia.

@nou4605 Happening in 120 countries. Coincidence? You think it is.

@Based Madara Misplaced? These are the same folk who have helped collapsed the economy worldwide in the last couple of years. We are seeing shortages on multiple continents now. They are the last people I want in charge. This could have all been avoided if they'd behaved sligjtly differently. They should not have been allowed to collect debts and charge high interest when people were unable to work because of restrictions- and that's just one thing.

@OkarinHououinKyouma It's Feudal Ownership of the common people. You don't even have full control over your finances.

@utkarshdwivedi6600 They cannot control how cash is used unlike this. Yes, health data will be put on your card. Along with other biometric data. That's the end goal. It won't necessarily start with a card either. "We are Indians" This is a global phenomenon, decided globally, in places you've likely never heard of, in meetings you've never heard of, nearly always outside India. One of these happens in Switzerland every year at Davos. The fact the Indian government has signed up to this shows that they are part of this phenomenon.

@cat-man5522 Your ability to pay or be paid for anything can be switched off in a second remotely, that's how. It will happen accidentally or as a deliberate decision by someone.
2
@cat-man5522 p.s. I had my bank account frozen some years ago. The bank was in the wrong and compensated me. Luckily, I a) had another bank account and b) had some physical money. But if I was wholly reliant on them, or whoever, I could have ended up in a lot of trouble quickly. That wasn't even malicious, it was a mistake. The moral of the story is never let anyone else fully control your finances. Including those above you.

@shiveshsingh3169 I can use paper money to whoever I want, and the government cannot block me buying or selling with it. The government also doesn't know who spent what where with paper money. Unlike this. Paper money is nearly worthless, electronic payment is a method of surveillance and control.
2
@shiveshsingh3169 I largely agree with you. I think we are taking some very wrong turns just now. We will suffer for it in the future. There are alternatives.
2
@just_a_curious_thinker Because their ability to buy and sell is completely controlled by the authorities and can be switched off at a button. If there is trouble or someone becomes a problem to them, they can stop these people from being able to live.

@manaspradhan8041 Most international economic activity was halted for months on end artificially, without taking adequate precautions for such a scenario e.g. debt prevention over that period. We now have supply chain problems with many different items in many parts of the world.

@mr.uthamaputhiran9790 We have more control than we realise, but collectively in this case. Whether people ever have the will to do that is another question.

Not natural, prearranged by international agreement.

@manannaik1341 This stuff is WORLDWIDE. Which part of that can you not see? There are over a hundred and twenty countries pushing through the same thing... and you think this is just about India. Not even close. Your politicians never even came up with this.
1
@manannaik1341 I'm not "liberal" (in the American sense) and I'm bald. This is worldwide. You think it's just there. It's everywhere. This world is ruled by conferences and committees not parliaments. That isn't "progress", it's just another means to control people. Just you wait til they put "cashless payment" IDs into your bodies. You'll call that "progress" too.
1
@manannaik1341 Your country is run from Switzerland. Same as mine. The World Economic Forum discusses things like this behind closed doors. Politicians are jusw window dressing. All that "net zero carbon", trans rights and all the rest you've been hearing about recently... that all comes from there too.
1
@manannaik1341 p.s. If I tell you where I am from you will make it about me. I am not talking about me. Your politicians didn't make this decision. It was made at international conferences.
1
@manannaik1341 This whole thing is INTERNATIONAL. Go off and read the WEF's website. That is where much of this is coming from. Your government is signed up to all this. It just forgot to tell the people. (If you hate the CCP, then you should hate a cashless society... because it will be used to introduce a CCP style "social credit" system.)

@nou4605 That's the boiling a frog argument. The internet is not what it should be. Nor are mobile phones. People do not use either of those to have their privacy invaded, but that is what corporations do with it by underhand methods. What you are doing is creating a system where millions can have their ability to survive switched on and off at the whim of someone else. Maybe because of one's political or personal views. It is right out of the current Chinese tyranny. Governments do not represent the will of the people at all. In fact, you see them Instituting all kinds of laws and systems which are not popular with people. Sometimes they do things the other way round, like this, where they bring in a system and then force them into people into using it. Currently we are seeing different parties in different countries introducing the same systems. This has obviously been discussed behind closed doors for years. They only bother telling the public about it as it is rolled out.

@kamalkumar7978 I know that they can. But abolishing physical cash means ANY citizen can have their means of support completely destroyed in seconds.
1
@kamalkumar7978 Not at a personal level. If I have a bank note in my pocket, they can't render that particular one void, just because I am a political undesirable etc, and they can't stop me giving it to a beggar or a barman.
1
@kamalkumar7978 It happened to me, due to an error. My money was frozen because of a supposed debt. I later got compensation because it was wrongly frozen. I was lucky that I happened to have cash to get around this problem.
1
@kamalkumar7978 p.s. India is going 100% cashless, as is the rest of the world. It is being done gradually rather than overnight. In some parts of the west major businesses won't take cash anymore.
1
@theodiscusgaming3909 It's being phased out worldwide. Some businesses won't accept it. Venezuela is one of the first countries to abolish it outright. It's been done more gradually elsewhere.
