With the
demonetization of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 bank notes taking the Indian economy and
social media platforms by a storm, there has been an equally crushing storming inside
our pockets and brains. We are all facing much inconvenience due to shortage of
cash in hand in one way or another. Hence, we need to find more ways to survive
without cash and save our existing cash until the ATMs are full of cash and
there are fewer queues both in banks and outside ATMs .In order to save the
valuable cash now, we need to shift our focus to the online service providers
to buy the stuff that we usually buy offline.
We are
listing and itemizing five online services below, you should stick to in this
cash-crunched economy:
1.
Grocery
–We are all used to buying our groceries from the first local
shop or vegetable vendor that serves our needs. Grocery being a fundamental
daily requirement needs to be purchased from time to time, especially
vegetables. In this cashless situation, where our local grocers are turning
down our good old 500 and 1000 notes, online grocery stores are there to the
rescue. With the facility to pay online, doorstep delivery and attractive
discounts, we are all glad more than ever for the online grocery stores like
Big Basket and Grofers.
2.
Public
Transport –A major cash puller for office-goers, students, and
others who commute daily is public transportation. Most of us pay for bus, metro
recharge, taxi and cabs, etc. in cash. To save on this daily cash consumption,
you can choose to pay online. You can recharge your metro card through apps
like Paytm, book buses and shuttles through Ola shuttle and MakeMyTrip, book cabs
online via Ola and Uber to save your valuable cash.
3.
Local
Shops Accepting Paytm –There are many local shops that
accept payment through Paytm. So, you can recharge your Paytm wallet and carry
out the transaction from these shops in case you prefer offline shopping over
online. You can meet almost all of your grocery needs here and maintain your
cash in hand balance easily. Just scan the bar code in the app and you are done
in a click.
4.
Food
online –This is not unique because a significant number of
people already order food online. A lot of tired office-goers and students, who
are dependent on the nearest eatery, can instead order online and pass out to
pay in cash. Moreover, food order and delivery sites are flooding with heavy
discounts and offers right now like Zomato and Swiggy.
The choice and pleasure both are yours.
5.
Home
Relocation Services–With the year end approaching, many home
lease agreements are also about to end or job transfers etc.Thus, the mad rush
to find a new adobe in this cash-crunched economy. From packers to movers, we
have all paid in cash for most of our lives. However, in the present situation
it is wiser and more practical to use new age relocation services that accept
payment online or can be booked online like Movesure and
Aggarwal packers and movers, etc.
There are a plethora of other services which can be
availed online without having to pay in cash. One of the honorary mentions in
this category would be online shopping for apparels and accessories and skip on
street shopping for a while.Briefly, to save your neck
from the ill effects of demonetization, you can have a crack at these services
and save those notes you are drooling on these days. Do let us know if this post
was able to lend a hand to you in any way. In case you have other ideas please
