The maximum end of day balance for payment banks which earlier was Rs. 1 Lakh has been increased to Rs. 2 lakh by the RBI with immediate effect.
In order to enable the non-bank payment system operators such as Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI), Card Networks, White label ATM Operators, and Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS) platforms have been regulated by RBI to take direct memberships in CPSs.
As per RBI, full KYC is now mandatory for PPIs to promote the optimal utilization of payment instruments such as cards and wallets. It has also given the scarce acceptance infrastructure like ATMs, QR Codes, PoS devices, etc.
