The app also tracked category-wise spends for the top 5 states and fuel expenditure emerged as the leading category for cashless transactions post-demonetisation. Among these states, Walnut users who had previously used their debit cards only for withdrawing cash performed their first cashless transaction to pay bills.
This suggests that enabling public and private utility services such as telecom, electricity, gas, water etc. to start accepting digital payments is most likely to turn users cashless for the first time.
