Interoperability guidelines for prepaid payment instruments with United Payments Interface (UPI) bolster the business case for digital wallets. For a loading fee on transactions through UPI. payments banks, for instance, can widen the adoption of wallets among customers and merchants. This increase use cases for UPI, which largely works on a model of free peer- to- peer-merchant transactions. The opportunity provided by the scorching growth of UPI transactions must, however, cross the hurdle of consumer behaviour that is shaped by zero fees for payments made from then bank accounts. For survival, payments banks - which can accept deposits but are prohibited from lending -need to be part of the UPI ecosystem. They also need to carve out a distinct business segment where they have an advantage over full-service banks.

Those use cases are expected to grow as UPI diversifies into cross- border remittances, introduces consumer lending through RuPay credit cards and offers currency exchange to foreign travelers, and bill payments using standing instructions gain traction. UPI will also have to integrate with the digital rupee that is undergoing tests for retail and wholesale transactions. The digital payments platform will continue to play a key role in the infrastructure that is being developed around contactless payments.

This involves building additional UPI context around digital transactions such as billing and credit- profiling. Initial adoption has surpassed the most optimistic expectations. But that is principally on account of the waiver of the merchant discount rate. In the next leg. UPI will grow by providing solutions for the conduct of business. It will have to incorporate lending at some point to become a comprehensive medium of commerce. The infrastructure must encourage fintechs to push innovation in finance. Payments banks have a strong correlation with the growth of digital transactions. They are vital piece of the machinery being built. The interoperability with UPI guidelines plugs them deeper.

 

Question ID 908141

91. As per the passage, why do the payment banks need to carve out a distinct business segment for themselves?

The proposed facility similar to the Applications Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) for secondary markets has elements to protect investors while increasing their potential earnings. The way it works now in the primary market is that money remains blocked in investor accounts, earning interest till issues of Initial Public Offerings (IPO) accept subscriptions. Replicating this for the secondary market is more complicated because of the number of parties, as well as the kinds of transactions, involved. Investors place a variety of orders over differing time horizons with or without leverage for multiple securities in the secondary market. Incorporating all these variables for a mechanism like ABSA involves escrow arrangements with counter parties in a dynamic environment.

The technical challenge may be consider able but not insurmountable. In this, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is on the right course in its effort to provide such a structure for investors. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) allows money used for trading to be transferred directly to clearing corporations, which can then settle with broker's. This flushes out money idling with brokers, lowering risk of abuse and containing the fallout in case of broker- default. This also offers a pathway for direct settlement, bypassing the pool accounts of intermediaries. SEBI has thus, acted on its regulatory remit of protecting investors' cash as well as their securities.

SEBI has offered relief to brokerages that stand to lose float income on account of upstreaming client money to clearing corporations. Brokerages have been allowed to upstream clients' fluids in the form of fixed deposit lien or mutual fluid units. This should keep intermediation fees low while the market regulator nudges the system to clear excess fluids from the broker channel. Higher upfront brokerage fees are an improvement over those subsidised by float income, bettering systemic oversight. This could lead to concentration among brokerages discount players lose their advantage.
