Why shortage of coins in City buses?

It's a common sight and everyday incident in the Chennai city buses that many of us experience.

The moment the passengers board, many of the conductors insist for getting the ticket by passing the money from one end to the other. Because the conductor does not move from his seat due to the crowd or laziness.

The moment the cash reaches his hands, he would demand the exact change to issue the ticket.

The puzzle is ; most of the conductors do have plenty of coins in their bags but deliberately not using them but demand change from each and every commuter.

Why these conductors behave like this? 
Is there any service condition by MTC that each person should bring a specific quantity of coins?

Or do these people earn commission by selling the coins to the businesses like Hotels, Shops, etc. 

Above all, it seems the MTC management ( whether it exists, i wonder) is least bothered about this allowing it like many other irregularities
