Payments Landscape

Recent Trends

While the Indian economy has traditionally been a cash-based economy, this trend is fast changing. Non-cash-based payments have been registering an upward trend in recent times. India's digital payment system has grown exponentially in recent years. The digital payments sector is expected to contribute significantly to India's gross domestic product (GDP). Multiple factors and official & behavioral trends are fueling this shift towards a cashless economy.

Enhanced internet connectivity, high rate of penetration of smartphones and flagship government initiatives such as 'Digital India' have been acting as key catalysts for this change. In fact, non-cash payments are expected to overtake cash transactions in the coming years.

Digital Economy – Key Enablers

There are key enablers which have hastened the transformation to a digital economy with pull and push type of payment requests:

Aadhaar Enabled Payments

Aadhaar Payment Bridge (APB)

Helps make payments directly to the Aadhaar enabled bank accounts of people.

Aadhaar Payment System (APS)

Users can provide their Aadhaar number and fingerprints at a micro ATM to benefit from financial services.

While the authentication is done by UIDAI, the financial transactions are handled by NPCI.

POS Machines (Credit/Debit Card Swipe)

Demonetization has created the need for a shift to digital transactions, its surprise element depriving cash of the security and confidence it once enjoyed as a legal tender. A point of sale terminal (POS machine) is an electronic device used to process card payments at retail locations.

A POS terminal generally does the following:

1

Reads the information of a customer's credit or debit card

2

Checks whether the funds in a customer's bank account are enough

3

Transfers the funds from the customer's account to the seller's account (or accounts for the transfer with the credit card network)

4

Records the transaction and prints a receipt

The number of POS machines in India has grown significantly post-demonetization, reflecting the rapid shift towards digital payment infrastructure across the country.
