For example, if an e-wallet is funded with ₹ 2000, it can be used to recharge a mobile phone for ₹500, buy groceries from a physical store for ₹1000 and purchase movie tickets online for ₹500. Once the balance of ₹2000 is used up, the same e-wallet can be funded again and the money can be used for further transactions.
