In today’s world smart phone has become an important part of life. Number of smart phone
users has increased dramatically as it has become more affordable. According to data released
by TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) there are around 300 million users of
mobile phone in India. Besides providing the basic function of communication there are
plenty of services a smart phone provides. These services includes entertainment (music,
movies, games etc.), socialization (social networking applications like facebook, twitter and
instant messaging services like whatsapp, messenger ),internet access services and even
payment services. For using payment services on smart phones an application for the same is
required to be installed in it. This application is called the digital wallet or electronic wallet or
popularly mobile wallet. Its functions of keeping and paying the currency are same as of
traditional leather wallet with the only difference of performing the same digitally and more
number of parties directly or indirectly involved in performing the same on digital platform.
For using mobile wallet service customer needs to register him with that mobile wallet and
preload a certain amount of money in it which can be used for shopping, recharge, utility bill
payments etc. Obviously it does not depend only on the smart phone and mobile wallet
installed in it. The entire process of sending and receiving money requires a complex network
of intermediaries including banks, payment gateways and mobile network operators. As per
the “Master Circular Policy Guidelines of Issuance and Operation of Prepaid Payment
Instruments in India” published on RBI website Mobile wallets are one of the prepaid
payment instruments other being smart cards, magnetic stripe cards etc.

shopping, paying bills etc. Students belong to Generation-F which wants fast food, fast fuel
and facebook. This generation has grown up in a world with technology, connected with
social media networks using their smart phones and tablets. Though lot of research work has
been conducted on the use of mobile wallet minuscule amount of research has been done on
the same with students as the respondents.
