Shopkeepers Ditching Digital Payments: A Shift in India's Retail Landscape

Many small shopkeepers in India are switching back to using cash instead of digital payments like UPI.

They're worried about losing money because of taxes called GST, which makes things more expensive.

Also, they don't always keep very careful records of their money, mixing personal and business funds.

Some people think the government focuses too much on these small businesses instead of looking at bigger problems.

This is causing a discussion about how to help small businesses and encourage digital payments at the same time.
