INTRODUCTION Mobile-based payments have become a necessity since the COVID-19 pandemic rather than a process of convenience.

Individuals' perceptions of the severity of the pandemic and their feelings of the extent of susceptibility to the disease can determine the level of adoption of preventive behavior (e.g., applying social distancing by shifting from physical banking to digital banking). Digital payments are mobile payments made via applications (apps) or payments made via internet banking and act as instruments to promote social distancing and allow customers to make transactions during lockdown periods. The present study analyzes and determines the impact of different demographic factors, such as age, gender and income, on the usage of mobile payment systems.

Granthaalayah Publications and Printers, 2024

In this era of rapid technological advancement, the use of digital payments is booming. It is one of the key measures being promoted by the government under the 'Digital India' campaign to move toward a cashless economy. Digital payments are made through online platforms using electronic media, eliminating the need for physical cash, and enabling people to handle transactions quickly and easily. The government's goal is to create a digitally empowered economy that is faceless, paperless, and cashless. With the rapid growth of internet access and smartphone usage, more people now have the tools to make digital payments. Mobile wallets, apps, and payment platforms have become widely accessible, and digital payments can be made both online and in physical locations. For example, if you buy something from Myntra and pay via UPI, that qualifies as a digital payment. Similarly, if you visit a restaurant and, instead of paying with cash or a card, scan a QR code at the cashier using an app like Google Pay or PhonePe, and complete the transaction through UPI, it is also considered a digital payment since the money is transferred electronically without physical cash. This study investigates whether the importance of digital payments has grown significantly between the pre-COVID and post-COVID periods. A two-sample means test was conducted using survey responses from finance managers at 100 companies in Pune. The findings indicate a notable increase in the importance of digital payments during the COVID-19 period.
