CHAPTER I
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Now-a-days world is becoming digitalized in every field and one of the best
example of this is various countries in the world are moving towards becoming a
cashless society. A cashless society is the one which doesn't use cash for any of
its transaction instead all the transactions are done digitally. There are various
countries in the world which have more than 50% of their transactions through
cashless methods.
According to a study conducted by Capgemini and BNP Paribas, digital payments
are expected to reach about 726 billion transactions by the year 2020. In India
98% of the total transactions used to be done through cash but after the
Demonetization of the Government on Nov 8 2016. our country has also started
getting steered towards a cashless society. Due to the Demonetization act already
existing mobile payment applications came into the limelight like Paytm, Google
pay, Phone Pe etc.
The Digital India program is a flagship agenda of the Government of India with
vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and a knowledge
economy. "Faceless, Paperless, Cashless is one of the professed role of Digital
India. The Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi has empowered India to
adopt cashless transactions by giving digital payments sector of India a significant
boost. The digital payment sector of India experienced a unpredicted growth since
Demonetization in November 2016. Digital wallet companies in India has shown
a growth of 271% for a total value of US$2.8 Billion ie Rs 191 crores. A Google-
BCG Report had estimated that the digital payment industry in India will
experience a growth of US $ 500 billion by 2020.
Government of India is also encouraging various digital payment apps such as
Aadhaar Payment app, UPI App, Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) app along
with private sector apps like Paytm, Mobikwik, Freecharge etc. Such new apps
are beneficial to transfer funds across various parts of our country. Digital

Security at Amazon Pay:-

Amazon's first priority is providing safe and secure transactions to their customers so that
the personal information of the clients is not disclosed. Here are some of the tips that
makes Amazon pay more secure for payments:-

❖ Personal Information should not be shared:- Amazon always focuses


on that the personal information of the customers will never get disclosed as
amazon will never share an email or a message the customer to share the
personal detail(amazon.in password, credit card details, or bank account
number). If any customer will receive such email or message then they should
report the same to Amazon.in.
❖ Identify E-mails:- Genuine Amazon email come from "@Amazon.in" or
"@amazon.com". So if a customer receives an email from any other email id it
is considered as fraudulent mail or a phishing mail in which once the customer
clicks on the link that consists the word 'Amazon' you will be directed to a
complete different website in which all your details will be hacked.
❖ Phishing mails should be reported: The customer receiving such
phishing or spoofing mail should report the same to Amazon by sending a mail
to" stop- spoofing@amazon.com" and the customer can even attach the fake
mail or can give information about the header of the mail so that it would be
easier to trace the mail by Amazon.
❖ Password:- Choosing a strong password is very important in Amazon account,
for instance a customer should not select a password that is easy to crack like for
example a customer should not select a password as password or 123456 or
amazon. Customers should also avoid keeping their password on their name or
email address or any other personal information which can be easily cracked.
Passwords are case sensitive, so "MOUNTAIN2!%" and "mountain2!%" are two
different passwords. A customer should set a stronger password which is difficult
to crack rather than an easy password by using special characters for example- a
customer can keep the password as "ocean2!%" rather than keeping "ocean".

Page | 14
Sanjo College Of Management And Advanced Studies(SCMAS)
A Study On Marketing Strategy Adopted By Upi With Special Reference To Gpay, Phonepe, amazon pay , Paytm Etc.

❖ Protection of Passwords:- Your password should be safe and secure so that


our account information should not be leaked for doing this a customer should
change his/her password periodically, should not use the same password for
various online accounts. A customer should always keep his/her password private
so that no one should know the password because if anyone can access the
password then the person can access the amazon pay account. A customer should
always log out after using the Amazon pay account.
❖ Protection of your system:- If your system is hacked then all your data
will be misused, so it is very important to protect your system. Here are some of
the steps through which a customer can protect his/her system:-

I. Customer should install an antivirus or an anti-malware software into his/her


system and should run a full scan of the software in your computer to detect any
viruses in your system. Do not click on any link that you receive on a phishing
mail. Microsoft provides free ant-malware software so that you don't install a
fake anti malware software at https://microsoft.com/security.
II. Update all your Windows programs on your computer.
III. If a customer has typed the password in the malicious website then the customer
should change the password immediately in the amazon website. A customer
should keep a strong password which includes letters, numbers, symbols etc.
IV. If a customer has received a malicious mail and has clicked on the link which
will be redirected to a website and if the customer has entered credit card
information then the customer should immediately report the same to the credit
card company about the phishing mail received to the customer. A customer
should never reply - to phishing or spam mail or messages, if you do so the
sender will be confirmed that tis email address is a valid email id to send further
more spam messages.

Sanjo College Of Management And Advanced Studies(SCMAS)
A Study On Marketing Strategy Adopted By Upi With Special Reference To Gpay, Phonepe, amazon pay , Paytm Etc.

➢ Manage Bank accounts:- Amazon pay allows a customer to add cash up to


Rs 20,000 per month. A customer can manage the amazon pay account by adding
a new credit/debit card to your account. A customer can also manage bank
account in case of refund..

Disadvantages of Amazon Pay

➢ It doesn't eliminate your security risks:- The security of your Amazon


Pay Balance depends on the security of your smartphone. If your device is not
protected by some kind of password, then it will prove a threat to your Amazon
Pay Balance. Even if your device is not secured by some anti-virus then also it can
be a threat to your amazon pay account.
➢ It could encourage reckless spending:- Some people struggle with their
reckless spending habits when the money is electronically-based instead of
physical form. People tend to spend more while paying through E-Wallets.
➢ It is not fully available worldwide:-In December 2016, just 36% of
retailers accepted Apple Pay and 34% of retailers accepted PayPal as a form of
payment, and just 25% accepted MasterPass as a form of payment. Still across
globe E-wallets are not much preferred by either retailers or customers.
➢ Inconvenient for Offline users:- Online payment methods like Amazon
pay. Google pay, paytm etc are useless for offline users i.e internet connectivity is
very important for your transaction to become successful. A customer cannot use
theses apps if he/she does not have strong network connection. Internet and server
problems can prove inconvenience to complete online payment transactions.
These are some of the advantages and disadvantages of using Amazon Pay.

2.4 IMPORTANCE OF CASHLESS TRANSACTIONS

➢ There is no fear of robbery or theft:- When physical cash is in large


amount it is difficult to carry cash as there is danger of theft, but in cashless
transaction this fear is eliminated.
➢ Tracking of expenses:- When the transactions are done in cashless way
through e-wallets or internet banking we can keep a track on all our expenses
which becomes easier to determine how much is our total expenditure. With the
help of cashless transactions a customer can make payments in exact
denominations i.e if you have to pay Rs 299.89 you can pay the same when you
use cashless mode of payment.
➢ Transparency and accountability:- In cashless economy as there is more
currency in the bank which means there is more currency in circulation, which
means greater liquidity and there is less scope of hiding income which eventually
leads to lower interest rates which leads to better economic development of the
country.
➢ No tension about counterfeit currency:- Every economy in the world
faces the problem of counterfeit currencies, while the government is taking
stringent actions against counterfeit currencies but the common people are the
ones who suffer in these counterfeit currencies. But when an economy adopts
cashless or digitization then the hassles about handling counterfeit currency is
sorted.
➢ Easier Accounting and Easier transactions:- By going cashless
customer can complete a transaction in a more convenient manner than before and
can complete the transaction with increased security. A customer can do direct
bank to bank transactions without physically transferring or depositing the cash to
the bank this saves time, money and efforts.
➢ Decrease in cost and Economic growth:- If the whole nation will go
cashless then there will be decrease in cost for printing of notes. RBI spends

around Rs 12,000 crores on replacement of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. By going


cashless there will be improvement in government monetary policy and
government revenue as well as there will be greater transparency and efficiency in
the economy.

These are some of the importance of cashless transactions.

2.5 FUTURE OF DIGITAL PAYMENTS IN INDIA

Smartphone and mobile phone users, internet users as shown in the above projections
are increasing with the increase in population in India. The above graph is compared
between two years i.e 2015 and 2020. With greater access to internet and growth and
development of infrastructure and greater usage of smartphones there is significant
development of digital payments in India. India is witnessing exponential growth in
Digital payment industry as India is considered as the second largest in the world in
case of mobile users with a Billion connections in the country. In India nearly 1.5
billion transactions take place every single day and most of these transactions are
P2M transactions i.e person to
merchants which means purchases like
grocery, newspaper, mobile recharges,
DTH recharges, ticket bookings, cab
booking etc. Easrlier in the year 2015
all the transactions were cash
transactions now it is estimated that by
2023 transactions in India will be more digitally and will rule the market with the
increasing number of smartphone and internet users..

Page | 19
Sanjo College Of Management And Advanced Studies(SCMAS)
A Study On Marketing Strategy Adopted By Upi With Special Reference To Gpay, Phonepe, amazon pay , Paytm Etc.

By the year 2025 in India it is estimated that cashless transactions would be 80% and
the volume of the digital transactions would reach up to $ 1 trillion. In India it will
take time to become a completely cashless society as it will require the support and
understanding by the public and various initiatives by the government. In India the
lack of digital literacy and education in rural areas can be a hindrance towards a
cashless society.

It is very important to encourage people to adopt cashless modes of payment by


giving various cash back offers which is been provided by the payment apps whether
private or government initiated
payment applications. By
making the payment process
simpler, safe, transparent it
will become easier for people
to access.

The above report by Statista shows the rise in Digital commerce as well as the
increase in mobile payments for a past few years. According to a study conducted by
Assocham-PWC India, the digital payments in India will be increasing from $64.8
billion to $135.2 billion till 2023. The study also specified that India is expected to
have the fastest growth in digital payments between the years 2019 to 2023 and also
it stated that between the years 2019 to 2023 on a worldwide transacttion scale
India's share will increase at a greater pace i.e from 1.56% to 2.02%

2.6 NEED OF THE STUDY

Financial transactions are the backbone of any economy in the world. In India cash
was always the king. i.e all the transactions in our country used to take place through
the means of cash only. Nearly four of every five transactions used to take place
through cash means during the year 2015, cash was the predominant mode of
payment and was the base of our economy and this was because of digital illiteracy,
lack of education, lack of infrastructure, low network connections in remote areas of
our country and many more reasons.

Page | 20
Sanjo College Of Management And Advanced Studies(SCMAS)
A Study On Marketing Strategy Adopted By Upi With Special Reference To Gpay, Phonepe, amazon pay , Paytm Etc.

The Reserve Bank of India is doing its best to encourage various methods of
payments and to make the whole payment process easier, more secure, reliable, and
user friendly. With the introduction of various digital modes of payment such as:-

o NEFT/RTGS.
o IMPS (Immediate payment services).
o USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data).
o UPI (Unified Payments Interface).
o BHIM (Bharat Interface for Money).
o Digital Wallets.
o Bharat QR code (Quick response code).
o Bharat Bill Pay.
o AEPS (Aadhaar Enabled Payment System).
o WhatsApp Pay.

The transaction process has become more convenient, secure and transparent in
nature with the help of such Digital modes of Payment. If cashless transactions is
adopted and implemented in India then it will be easier to exchange currency while
travelling to abroad countries. A cashless society leads to lower crime rates which is
an advantage to the society. There will be no scenario of black money and can stop
corruption once a society is cashless in economy and this can be done by adopting
more and more digital mode of payment for various transactions.

The main purpose of the study is to investigate the benefits of using online payment
applications and to analyze the various online payment applications in India. The
main agenda of this study is to find out the impact of using Amazon Pay and to find
out that using Amazon Pay as a payment method has helped the customers or not.
