Considering the increasing number of fraud cases being reported in digital transactions, there is a dire need for extensive sensitisation programmes on safe digital transaction methods by various government departments and financial institutions, Dharwad Deputy Commissioner Nitesh Patil has said.
Chairing a World Consumers Day event in Dharwad on Tuesday, he said that this year’s celebrations are being held with the theme, Fair Digital Finance, to highlight the importance of following safe transaction methods to protect oneself from frauds.
Mr. Patil said that India has the highest number of consumers in the world and many multi-national companies are doing business amounting to around ₹235 lakh crore.
