Surojit Shome, CEO DBS Bank India says that “The Union Budget reiterates the Government’s intent to accelerate digitisation in the economy. Incentivising digital transactions through measures such as a 2% levy on cash withdrawals from bank s above a cumulative one crore per annum threshold and reduced merchant discount rates can structurally change adoption levels.  Additionally, encouraging measures for start-ups should boost digital entrepreneurship as well as efforts to increase digital literacy particularly in rural India will strengthen the Digital India transformation process.”
