The government is promoting online transactions and moving towards the more cashless economy. At one end it is releasing the pressure from banks to do operations for the customers, on the other hand, they are looking for better technology for their ATM's and one service security and easy-access.

Almost every business uses electronic mail and does most of its operations, interactions and communication only through it.

The usage of mobile and its apps have no relationship with education, and even it is more in use in rural areas in comparison to an urban area.
