In modern India where people talk about smart cities and India as a digitizing nation, it is very important that we start with necessities of citizens. Grocery shopping is one such necessity that requires modernization. There has always been a long queue at the billing counters in shopping malls. This activity many times consumes lot of time which results in frustration amongst customers. This problem is faced by everyone. Especially in India where there is a lot of population and not enough billing counters. There are online grocery stores available, but they have their own disadvantages like minimum bill value etc. To overcome this problem an idea has been developed which can be implemented in all the shopping malls to save customer’s precious time and simplify the billing process. In a country like India where cost is an important parameter, it is important to keep in mind the manufacturing cost of the product. If the cost is low without compromising the functioning, the model can be implemented on a larger scale. Considering this the model has been built with the most commonly available and efficient hardware. This paper describes the idea of smart shopping basket and how it can be built using basic cost-efficient hardware. In the proposed model, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been used to detect grocery items. Every product will have a RFID tag and every cart will have a reader. A RFID reader is used to decode the tag and display the information on a small Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Technical working of the circuit with hardware specifications has been discussed and ways of optimization have been suggested. Different variants of this idea have been studied from research papers and a simplified and effective model with working has been proposed in this paper.
