A resident of Telangana has purchased a scooter by paying 12,300 coins of Rs 10, a sum he accumulated over three years of disciplined saving.
A man from Telangana recently completed the purchase of a scooter by tendering 12,300 coins, each worth ten rupees. The total amount paid was Rs 123,000, a figure he had set aside over a period of three years.
The buyer reportedly kept the coins in a safe place, gradually accumulating the required sum without spending on other expenses. When the time came, he presented the coins to the dealer, who accepted them as full payment for the scooter.
The transaction has attracted attention for its unusual method of payment, highlighting a disciplined savings habit. It also underscores the accessibility of affordable two‑wheelers for individuals who can plan and save over a longer horizon.
Dealers in the region have noted that such cash‑only transactions are rare in the era of digital payments, but they remain a viable option for buyers who prefer tangible currency.
The scooter, a popular model in Telangana, is expected to serve the buyer for daily commutes across the state’s urban and rural areas.
