This document summarizes an article from the International Journal of Management that analyzes paper-free payment systems in India from 2003-2004 to 2012-2013. It finds that electronic payments have grown significantly in both volume and value compared to paper-based payments like cheques during this period. Electronic payments saw huge growth rates in some years, like 342% from 2007-2008. While paper-based payments declined slightly at times, electronic modes like NEFT, debit cards, credit cards, and ECS consistently increased by double-digit percentages annually. The growth of electronic payments bodes well for the economy and corporate sector in moving towards a less-cash society in India.
