I Have been a total failure to understand why there should be any charge for electronic money transactions. Since no personnel is involved, banks are saving money not only by way of salary , which was required to be paid for manual operation. Savings takes place also because of paperless transactions hence no need of maintaining vouchers, ledgers,etc. Further, is it something like a tax or duty that the charge would be certain percentage of the value of transaction ? It need be a fixed amount (to cover the cost of maintenance of office facilities, computer hardware and software, and a portion of management cost, etc.), if any charge is to be levied at all. Government of India is required to give a serious look to promote electronic transactions. A no. of organisations, e.g., the Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation (a profit making company listed in 'A' group at BSE) , provides rebate for ell modes of electronic payment - as also for paperless billing. more
