With the growth of the Internet, the scope for online shopping has also grown tremendously. But growth of online shopping has made the transferring of money online an important issue for the potential customers. This study is conducted with the objective to find out the problems and challenges of restricting online consumers to adopt cashless payment mode. Data from 600 respondents were collected by using a structured questionnaire. By applying t-Test and ANOVA, it was found that demographic variables, except gender, have no significant effect on adoption of cashless payment mode by online consumers. By applying factor analysis, five factors, namely, complex system, perceived risk and lack of trust, habit of cash payments, self-inefficacy and security issues, were extracted and by applying Multiple Regression Analysis, it was found that all these factors significantly affect the adoption of cashless payment mode by the online consumers and restrict consumers to pay online for their online purchases.
