A Reserve Bank of India-appointed
committee headed by Aadhaar architect Nandan Nilekani has submitted its
suggestions on promoting digital payments to Governor Shaktikanta Das.
In January, the RBI had set up the five-member panel on deepening digital
payments with a view to encouraging digitisation of payments and enhance
financial inclusion through digitisation.
In a statement, the Reserve Bank said the committee held its deliberations
including consultations with various stakeholders and submitted its report
yesterday to Mr Das.
It said the RBI will examine the recommendations of the committee and will
link the action points, wherever necessary, in its Payment Systems Vision 2021
for implementation.
Earlier this week, the RBI released the ‘Payment and Settlement Systems in
India: Vision 2019 – 2021’, for ensuring a safe, secure, convenient, quick and
affordable e-payment system with an aim making India a ‘cash-lite’ society.
