    Demonetization effect: Debit card usage goes up steeply

    Demonetization effect: Debit card usage goes up steeply
  • Since demonetization, debit card usage has increased from 42% of India's total card spend from October 2016, to 60%.

    If every cardholder uses his/her card even once in a month, the debit card share in transactions is likely to go beyond 80%.
