High Level Scope and Objective

The issue with transfers from CEE accounts to Bigbasket is that CEEs are reluctant to transfer cash directly from their bank accounts due to insufficient funds and they might need the money for personal expenses or other financial commitments.


The challenge is to devise a solution for CEEs to deposit money into their bank accounts and then transfer it to Bigbasket. This poses challenges such as distance to the nearest bank or ATM and associated costs like time, petrol, and bank charges.
