Have you ever done shopping from any of the brand outlets? Shoppers Stop, Central, Westside and what not?

Have you been out with your friends/family to a restaurant?

Have you ever been to petrol pumps to re-fuel your vehicle?

If your answer is yes, my next question to you is what happens when you pay using your credit/debit card? The cashier prints a long receipt of your bill and gives it to you. And what you do? Happily take it, put it in your pocket/purse and never look at it again or would probably throw it in the dustbin.

Why? Why are we doing it? Why are we doing something that is not required at all?

In this present era, everyone is talking about climate change, there are conferences happening around the world to discuss them; people protesting outside government building and blaming it on them for their negligence of not doing anything. Have we ever introspected? Probably not!! Because if we would have, we would know how ignorant we are with our surroundings.

I recently visited an outlet and purchased a shirt but when I looked at the bill I realised how ignorant I was all these years! What’s the need of printing those numbers on a paper? In this digital era, why can’t I receive that bill directly on my phone or email and the people who need it for their personal use can get it print when required! Why was I not able to say NO to the person generating the payment receipt until now, be it in a restaurant or a petrol pump?

From now, I have pledged that I will say NO to the person generating the customer receipts and I urge you do to the same.

Some of you might be thinking this as a stupid idea, some you might be thinking it as a great idea but facing dilemma, “Oh, I need to submit those for my reimbursements”. That’s another area where we need your support. Developing this system may be a walk in the park for the individuals working in this field, but for me it’s like climbing the Everest. So, I request to the brightest minds of the country to develop system where we can get bills on our phone and at the same time to the policy makers of the country to come up with a policy where there is no need to submit the paper bill and instead we can submit e-bills.

If this makes sense to you, please share this and raise awareness among people. Your small step can make a difference for our future.
