As of late, RBI lead representative Shaktikanta Das had said that NPCI will be given the choice to change over itself into a revenue driven element. As indicated by Das, a revenue driven proposition for NPCI will guarantee that there is a level battleground for new participants and NPCI.
It’s significant that transformation of NPCI into a revenue driven association will require endorsement from the Ministry of Finance, RBI, and a change in the Payment and Settlement Systems Act.
