HURDLES IN THE WAY OF CASHLESS ECONOMY

download-7
Ever since the announcement of Demonetization, The number of online transactions in India has increased to a greater extent, even Indian Government is trying all methods to promote cashless transactions via Debit cards, Credit cards, e-wallets and Net Banking etc. But with increase in number of Customers using all these payments methods which are quite new for them, the incidents of online frauds also increased.

International Hackers are seeing this new trend in India as a great opportunity which lead to increase in number of Cyber Crimes. Indian Government need to aware general people regarding Cyber crimes and online transaction through various modes and make our law and police capable to handle this new scenario properly.

If you are a person who does cashless payments then Do take care of following things:


Hackers Generally convince you to download some random mobile apps or application by providing offers, with these apps they can use all the data available on your phone, they can see whom you are calling, your contact list and most importantly your SMS. They can see at the same time as you receive them on your phone. When we does an online transaction through debit card, e-wallet or net banking the concerned bank or service provider send us the OTP on our phone which we have to enter to complete that transaction but hackers can also see that OTC if we had downloaded their fake app. Same thing is possible with the Computers and laptops. So this way a hacker can do fraud with you. I myself try this technique and to be very frank it’s very easy to hack, you can even track the exact location of the person whom you are hacking.


To avoid such type of fraud First of all stop running behind all these small offers which random companies give in exchange of downloading their applications on your mobile or PC.

Secondly, Be careful with your mobile whenever an OTP came on your mobile don’t share it with anyone sometimes some fraud people call saying they are from the bank and upgrading your debit card or changing your pin don’t tell them anything instead call the police. I know these days everyone is aware of this still I remind you Bank never call and ask for your OTP. In case you receive an OTC regarding unknown transaction then quickly call your bank to black your Credit or debit card.

Third, Keep updating your password. Well to be secure change your Password every month whether Debit card, e-wallet, Net Banking etc.

Sometimes we give our credit card to waiter so that he can do the payment which is also wrong because who know maybe he use our card on a card reader and copy all the card details which further could be used to do transactions, It difficult to do fraud transaction at that time for the waiter because he can be caught easily but if he copy the card details through Card reader and do transaction after that it’s difficult to catch him. Some shop keepers do some modifications with their swipe machine which whenever used copy the card details for illegal use. To avoid this firstly stay present and alert while someone is using your card and most of the time do it yourself. Secondly, avoid using the card in small, unknown shops.

RELIANCE JIO EFFECT ON TELECOM INDUSTRY

Image
Ever since the launch of Jio services on 5 th  of September in India, the telecom industry has changed a lot. Recent offers like Free calls and cheaper Internet packs by the contemporary companies is just the beginning and in India, this trend gonna stay forever as Reliance has promised that their Voice call and Roaming services are gonna remain free for lifetime. The effect of Jio’s entry into telecom business is very positive for Customers but it’s really bad for the other companies because they are losing customers. If we go with the facts then more than 1000 new Customers are adopting Jio every minute or 6 lakh every day. Jio has already reached 50 million customer mark in 83 days which is a record in itself even companies like Facebook and What’s app are far behind from Jio in this record. It takes 12 years to Airtel and 13 years to Idea and Vodafone to reach 50 million Customers mark which Jio has crossed in 83 days only. Well the strategy of Jio is pretty simple to f

2016: A YEAR OF SPORTS FILMS

Image
First of all Sultan (300 Crore) than MS Dhoni (133 Crore) and recently Dangal which is still running in the theaters and already become the 2 nd  highest grosser of the year, this year is surely all about Sports Drama films. Other films which are also Sports oriented were Azhar, Freaky Ali, Do Lafzon Ki Kahani but these films didn’t do well at the box office. 2017 also gonna saw some most awaited sports films like Sachin: A Billion Dreams. If we look at this year business wise then it’s a very bad year and demonetization at the end make it even worse. Only eight films manage to mint profit for its makers that why I consider to look at this year Content wise, Films like Udta Punjab, Pink, Dear Zindagi, Neerja, Dangal, and Airlift are the examples. Even performances of the actors like Amitabh, Alia, Shahid, Vidya, Aamir, Fawad, and SRK were more valuable then-then few more Crore. Let’s hope for a better 2017 for Bollywood business but this year is surely very good for the Hol

BANNING CHINESE PRODUCTS?

Image
Throughout the country a protest against Chinese products is happening, Common people are avoiding the purchase of Chinese products, a social campaign is happening on Social media requesting people to boycott Chinese products, So what’s it mean? There are many questions, Let’s go through them one by one. Who call this boycott and why? This Boycott is called by some random Social media activists, also supported by various politicians and celebrities against China after it blocked India’s attempt to designate Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed leader Masood Azhar a terrorist at the UN. Is it going to work? Well the answer is no, most of the Chinese products are unavoidable like Cell phones and electronic products, This boycott is only going to effect very less Chinese companies which sell their products without any return policy (decorative items, fireworks etc) so at the end it’s only the Indian retailer who is going to get affected because they had already bought
