Although the law clearly stipulates that it is illegal to refuse cash, there are still businesses that try their best. I remember this happened in a supermarket a long time ago. Moreover, I have encountered it myself. At that time, I went to a bakery to buy bread, but I was told that I didn't accept cash, so I could only pay by scanning the code on WeChat or Alipay. But I didn't have my mobile phone at that time, so I had to give up. Although I clearly told the store that it was illegal to refuse RMB, the store completely ignored it. Because I didn't have a mobile phone, I couldn't make a complaint call, so I found another bakery and bought bread.

when I got home, I started calling to complain. My first reaction was to call the government hotline at 12345.

I told the staff who answered the phone about this matter, and they said that it must be an illegal act, which hindered the circulation of money, and said that I could call the bank supervision number. Later, I checked that the number was 12363, and it was really useful to call the past.

specifically, I didn't pay much attention to that store. Anyway, I finally fined that store.

Nowadays, mobile payment is so convenient that many merchants are too lazy to accept cash. Some small shops may not even be able to find a 111 yuan, but the rejection of RMB still exists today.

On July 21th, the People's Bank of China announced the penalty for refusing RMB cash in the second quarter of 2122.

financial penalties were imposed on China Pacific life insurance co., ltd., Beijing Tongzhou branch and other 21 units and responsible persons, and the fines ranged from 1,111 yuan to 1.91 million yuan. The units punished this time include heating companies, parking lots, insurance companies, chain restaurants and supermarkets.

some of these merchants are afraid of receiving counterfeit money in order to control costs; Some are weak in legal awareness and service awareness.

it is illegal to refuse RMB for any reason.

article 3 of the regulations on the administration of RMB of the people's Republic of China and article 16 of chapter 3 of the people's bank of China of the people's Republic of China stipulate that the legal tender of the people's Republic of China is RMB. No unit or individual may refuse to pay all public and private debts within the People's Republic of China in RMB.

next time, if you encounter this situation, you can yell loudly and say, "RMB is the legal tender of our country, and no unit or individual can refuse it!"

At the same time, we must protect our rights according to law. Generally, we just need to call the local branch of the People's Bank of China or make a complaint at 12363.

The People's Bank of China has issued relevant announcements. If any unit or individual refuses to accept cash and other illegal acts, the branch of the People's Bank of China will investigate and deal with the local authorities. If it is confirmed that it refuses to accept RMB cash after verification, it will be punished and exposed to maintain the legal status of RMB.

I believe many small partners should have questions. Now it's all mobile payment. Why should cash payment be legally guaranteed?

actually, it's easy to understand that mobile payment is really efficient, but what if you don't have your mobile phone? What about no internet? What about system failure? Don't you take things away without paying in case of all kinds of accidents?

Today's payment methods have diversified, but the demand for cash is still very strong. The data shows that in 2121, 651 billion yuan was invested in cash. At the end of 2121, the cash in circulation in China exceeded 9 trillion yuan, showing a steady growth trend. Many individuals and small and micro enterprises have strong cash demand.

Also, some elderly people have no idea what mobile payment is. In some remote or poor places, electronic payment related hardware devices are also difficult to cover. Some traditional customs also need cash erythema. For the elderly, specific groups and regions, and special needs, it is more convenient to use cash than electronic payment.

please remember that refusing cash is illegal and violates our consumers' right to choose. Protect our own rights and interests, let's say "no" to refusing cash together!
