Digital economy on the one hand provides easy access to products and services, but on the other hand transmission of personal information poses financial risk as well. Digital platforms have two potential risk i.e., transmission of confidential information of business and public and lack of network security resulting to unauthorized access.

This paper elucidates the various initiatives taken by the government towards digital economy before and after demonetization and its contribution to India’s GDP in near future.
