Just about 35% of India's population uses internet. So if the government wants to transition to a cashless or digital economy, it will take some time and lots of effort.

Of the above, only 30% have speeds of 4 MPBS or more... this translates to 10% of India's population. Source: http://mrkt.co.in/2016/12/18/stats-internet-connection-speed-in-india/

I am in the 1% with internet speed in excess of 30 MBPS.
