In view of for foregoing, the central Bank Governors of  the group of Ten(a-10) countries Commissioned a series of studies on specific issues   related to electronic  money in November 1995.

2.       FINANCIAL CONSTRAINT: The  students financial  constraint is another    fact, as  it is very difficult gathering  materials, for the study, therefore the researcher  faces  the  problems  of finances.
3.       TIME The  time  allocated to the study is short,  there  by making it difficult to gather  the  necessary     materials like the journals, periodicals, text  books, news papers e.tc.
