Demonetisation has affected every business operation including the flesh trade. Commercial Sex Workers claim they used to earn Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 per day before note ban. But, The income has fallen drastically after demonetisation. Now, Its time for everyone to go cashless for survival.

Ganga Jamuna red light area in Nagpur have issued pamphlets which read 'Paytm accepted here'. Usage of Paytm gives an opportunity for the customers to use e-wallet to make payments. In that way, Business would pick up to some extent.

However, Most of the Sex Workers have no idea what Paytm is all about. Some of them even comment, How would we know about Paytm when we don't know what an ATM is? The sex workers say they will be paid money through Paytm under a Government Scheme.
