The study includes a detailed literature review of 20 relevant works, identifying methodologies and applications of the TRA model to m-commerce. A structured questionnaire design aligned with the TRA framework assesses five key attributes, each evaluated with ten targeted questions.The research objectives include analyzing customer perceptions, evaluating satisfaction levels, identifying challenges, and proposing actionable strategies for enhancing customer loyalty and engagement. The findings offer both theoretical insights into TRA's applicability and practical recommendations for improving India's m-commerce platforms, addressing issues like security, user experience, and service quality.
