Going Digital by Choice, Not by Force!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meet our first Digizen<\/a>, Mr. Virendra Singh R Chauhan who is a truck driver from Ahmadabad working in the transport industry for more than 16 years. A 5th-grade school-dropout,  the 39-year-old is married & a proud father of 3 children.<\/p>\n

The fact that makes Virendra stand out from his fellow industry-men is the way he takes care of his day-to-day monetary transactions. He likes to keep most of his transactions online. Be it vendor payments, receiving payments from customers or simply re-fuelling his truck, 80%<\/strong><\/em> of his transactions are either online or via plastic money. Now that’s a rare sight!<\/p>\n

\"\"According to Virendra, one of the most appealing advantages of going cashless is “chori chakari ka darr nahi rehta saab!<\/em>“<\/strong> (Carrying cash on the endless highways through the length and breadth of the country increases the chances of being mugged. This way it’s much safer!)<\/p>\n

As a Digizen<\/a>, Virendra also enjoys other perks like discounts and surcharge benefits <\/a>at fuel pumps, (0.75% discount on the <\/strong>digital<\/strong> purchase of fuel)<\/strong><\/em> & highway tolls (10% discount on NH toll payment)<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

He also mentioned, “hisab rakhna bhi asan ho jata hai!<\/em>“<\/strong> Narrow margins compel him to save more. Digital transactions are easier to track and it has made life easier.<\/p>\n

Let’s just say it was his smart choice to go digital rather than being forced upon! He also sounded quite composed and forward-looking while talking about demonetization <\/a>and how smooth it has been for him to deal with the unexpected storm.<\/p>\n

It has been a pleasure assisting Virendra with his housing loan requirements. We salute his spirit and he remains one of our inspiration to go digital!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
