bring havoc in the form of cyber crimes and thus, enfeeble the economy. But I'd rather prefer to go with the former group that fosters the concept of E-transaction. In order to build cashless ambience, penetration of technology becomes inevitable. On the other side, illiterate people are becoming the victim of cyber crimes and they finally admonish banks for such crime and hence our banking system earned a lot of opprobrium. Banks now have learned a lesson and as a result, awareness is now being instilled in illiterate town with the help of profuse tech awareness camps
