Effect of the demonetization in Novetmber 2016 was seen in the month December 2017
with the value of e-transactions in India doubling from Rs.0.10 trillion to Rs.0.20 trillion.
Thereafter the value quadrupled in the next month, January 2017 to Rs.0.48 trillion. Later
on the value seems to have stabilized around Rs.0.40 trillion. It is heartening to note that
all the instruments, RTGS, NEFT, IMPS, USSD, Cards, Mobile banking etc. have fared
very well in providing a good platform for executing the transactions digitally. Thus, we
can see a clear correlation between demonetization and e-monetization. This study was an investigation into the e-banking practices in nationalized and private banks in the State of Maharashtra in the light of the banking sector in India undergoing a
phenomenal change thanks to the November, 2016 demonetization move by the
Government. Primary data was collected from bank customers. The population of bank
customers in Maharashtra is expected to be quite large (say more than 20000) in which
case a sample size of 500 respondents was fixed. This article discusses that e-banking is finding favors with the younger generation and if the perceived benefits from e-banking are popularized and publicized well then the response to e-banking can be expected to be much better.
