It said, submitted solutions will be evaluated for adoption and those selected will be suitable rewarded. Meanwhile, to ensure safety of citizens amid the coronavirus outbreak, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor, Shaktikanta Das, on Monday asked customers to use digital banking facilities as far as possible. Das also added, "In the context of COVID 19, RBI and the government together are giving emphasis on encouraging digital payments. And over a period of time, various measures have already been taken to establish safe, secure, stable and affordable retail payment system such as the National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) and the Immediate Payment Service (IMPS)."

I have stopped using other useless news channels like ndtv, abp news etc. There are just full of politics and biased opinions, far away from reality and problems. Even I didn't follow any channel during CAA, they are just full of bjp-congress or hindu-muslim. It was one of the best decision shutting all the news channels and social media except Rajya sabha tv . Thanks a lot for showing the real issues, for this rich discussion.

Stop behaving as if India is a leader in digital innovation... It lags far behind in digital infrastructure.... Even an educated one in 🇮🇳 is scared of using net banking because of lack of Digital safety.... Come out of the mentality of blowing ur own trumpet... There is a lot more to do n lot more to go....
