Many people used to their transaction with cashless payments by swiping debit and credit cards. Before demonetiation what you actually did, direct payment, cheque and bank drafts. You stood in the bank with long queues to settle payment with some bank draft and cheque. It took a lot of effort, time-consuming and energy waste too.
