With an efforts towards a 'cash-lite' society, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released a latest vision document for ensuring a safe, secure, convenient, quick and affordable e-payment system as it expects the number of digital transactions to increase more than four times to 8,707 crore in December 2021.
The new released document 'Payment and Settlement Systems in India: Vision 2019 - 2021' envisages to achieve a highly digital and cash-lite society through the goal posts of competition, cost effectiveness, convenience and confidence (4Cs). The previous vision document covered the period 2016 to 2018.
According to the latest vision document, payment systems like UPI/IMPS are likely to register average annualised growth of over 100% and NEFT at 40% over the vision period (period up to December 2021). Besides, the number of digital transactions is expected to increase more than four times from 2,069 crore in December 2018 to 8,707 crore in December 2021.
