Advantage India
Robust
Demand
*According to the EY 2021 NextWave Global Consumer Banking Survey explored consumers’ primary financial relationships and found that FinTechs and neobanks are gaining ground.
*That demand seems particularly strong when it comes to the critical need of protecting consumer data, where incumbent banks have a trust advantage. Some super apps may also turn to banks for access to banking licenses and to meet other regulatory requirements.
*Indian Fintech industry is estimated to be at US$ 150 billion by 2025. India has the 3rd largest FinTech ecosystem globally.
Innovation in
Services
*In the recent period, technological innovations have led to marked improvements in efficiency, productivity, quality, inclusion and competitiveness in the extension of financial services, especially in the area of digital lending.
*Digitalization of Agri-finance was conceptualized jointly by the Reserve Bank and the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub (RBIH). This will enable delivery of Kisan Credit Card (KCC) loans in a fully digital and hassle-free manner.
*In Union Budget 2023, the KYC process will be streamlined by using a 'risk-based' strategy rather than a 'one size fits all' approach.
*In September 2023, Hitachi Payment Services launched India's first-ever UPI-ATM with NPCI.
Business
Fundamentals
*The Indian banking industry has been on an upward trajectory aided by strong economic growth, rising disposable incomes, increasing consumerism and easier access to credit.
*Digital modes of payments have grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years. As a result, conventional paper-based instruments such as cheques and demand drafts now constitute a negligible share in both the volume and value of payments.
Policy
Support
*The RBI has launched a pilot to digitalize KCC lending in a bid for efficiency, higher cost savings, and reduction of TAT. This is expected to transform the flow of credit in the rural economy.
*In November 2022, RBI launched a pilot project on central bank digital currency (CBDC).
*In Union Budget 2023, a national financial information registry would be constructed to serve as the central repository for financial and ancillary data.
*In March 2023, India Post Payments Bank (IPPB), in collaboration with Airtel, announced the launch of WhatsApp Banking Services for IPPB customers in Delhi.
