Tech Fact
                        The first VoIP service was developed in 1973 by Danny Cohen. He named this service as
                                                    Network Voice Protocol (NVP).




                         E-BANKING

                  The technology has paced many steps. We can now transfer money online from one bank account
                  to another. In earlier days, cheques were used to transfer money. It took 2–3 days for the clearance

                  of cheques. If cheques were spoiled, mutilated and lost then the transfer took more time as a fresh
                  cheque was required again. With e-banking, you can transfer funds easily from one account to another
                  through computer, laptop and even your smartphone.
                  ATM facility is also a part of e-banking where you can withdraw cash from any of the ATM machines
                  and the amount will be debited from your bank account automatically.

                  •   Debit or Credit Card: E-commerce websites allow us to make payment by using our credit or debit
                    card. We make payment by using the debit card which will be debited from the bank account. We
                    must have a sufficient balance in the bank account to complete the transaction. In case of credit
                    card, we are provided with a credit limit by the bank which we can use to purchase products. To
