Mr D Trump ...Sri Narendra Modi, page-5

yes india is a bad case for an experiment for going cashless... i reckon australia would have be an ideal candidate for it.
Anyway, the gov already mooted removing the 100$ bill schedule for this year end. if the 50$ bill also goes- then i think it's a global rollout- not just australia or india or scandinavia.

i think they are behind schedule because all the necessary tech is here to support such a move. Already - thousands of satellites are being launched for internet connectivity all over the globe. We should be the 'lucky' generation to see the unveiling of a totally cashless society. Bring it. . . .
