in the society. Payment banks have another innovative banking service in India, payment banks
transaction going on only digital instrument. Payment Banks, to which licenses have been
issued by the RBI, are a step in the direction of banking/financial inclusion. They are not only
likely to reach out to unbanked people and rural areas but will also ensure more money coming
into the banking system and will introduce more competition among banks.
Payments banks are specialised banks designed with a lower risk profile. The purpose behind
these banks is to provide quick and basic banking services to the people at the bottom.
Payments bank is played important role in India as a mechanism for financial inclusion and a
millstone in Indian banking. The main purposes of payments bank not conduct business but
also serve people. The new model of banking allows mobile firms, super market chains and
others to cater to banking requirements of individuals and small business.
Payments Bank is a new banking model developed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). It is
basically a bank without credit or loan facility and few other restrictions. According to the latest
RBI regulation, an individual can store a maximum of Rs.1 lakh in a payments bank. However, this
limit may be upgraded depending on the bank’s performance.
A payments bank is like any other bank, but operating on a smaller scale without involving any
credit risk. In simple words, it can carry out most banking operations but can't advance loans
or issue credit cards. It can accept demand deposits (up to Rs 1 lakh), offer remittance services,
Payments banks will be entering a very competitive and increasingly commoditised market for
savings and payments products, joining new banks, government schemes, and specialised
payments providers all vying for clients and transaction volumes. Therefore, the success of the
payments bank model hinges on its ability to be relevant to consumers and commercially
sustainable.
Payments Banks will magnify the potential of financial inclusion in the economy. It will
empower those citizens who have only transacted in cash, to head towards formal banking.
Traditional banks may be hesitant to open branches in every village due to its uneconomic
returns, but simple mobile phone coverage is all that is required now.

People should adopt the option for payment bank to reduce the working burden of
Commercial banks. Every person is doing financial transactions many times in a day in
which ‘Payment’ is a main objective.
The target groups for Payments Banks are mainly India’s migrant laborers, low-income
households and small businesses to whom savings accounts and remittance services can
be offered at lower transaction costs. It is envisaged that Payments Banks will
accelerate the penetration of financial services among the low income customer
segments by leveraging technology and building a large geographical footprint.

They can raise deposits of up to Rs. 1 lakh, and pay interest on these balances just like a
savings bank account does.
They can enable transfers and remittances through a mobile phone.
They can offer services such as automatic payments of bills, and purchases in cashless,
cheque less transactions through a phone.
They can issue debit cards and ATM cards usable on ATM networks of all banks.
They can transfer money directly to bank accounts at nearly no cost being a part of the
gateway that connects banks.
They can provide forex cards to travellers, usable again as a debit or ATM card all over
India.
They can offer forex services at charges lower than banks.
IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY
Payment banks are relied on the technology. It is providing such a platform that the phone is
being used as a digital wallet. There are multiple wallets going around which are of no use as
their validity period varies between six months to a year. The money which is stored in the
wallet is ideal and it does not fetch any interest. As wallets accept very low values they do not
require any KYC norms, so there is every possibility of fraud. To meet these challenges
technology driven companies need to come up with more innovative ideas and they need to
join with the payment banks to gain more advantage in the market. In fact, these payment banks
and wallets can contribute together towards a financial inclusion.
http://www.bankexamstoday.com/2016/11/growth-of-payment-banks-in-india.html
A payment bank can accept deposits up to a maximum of Rs.1 lakh only per individual
customer. Demand Deposits and saving bank deposits can be accepted from individuals,
small firms and other entities.
People can open a Savings bank account or a current account with these payment banks.
Payment bank can pay interest on the deposits just like normal banks.
Payment banks are allowed to transfer payments through any channels like Branches,
Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), business correspondents etc.
Internet banking services can be provided by a payment bank that includes payment
mechanism as approved by RBI such as RTGS/NEFT/IMPS.
A payment bank app can be used to make utility bill payments as well.
A payment bank can involve in providing basic financial services like access to mutual
funds, insurance products, pension products, forex services subject to the conditions set
by RBI.

The impact on private sector banks will be minimal because they have already made strong
investments in technology. Also some of the private sector banks like Kotak Mahindra Bank
Ltd, Yes Bank Ltd and ICICI Bank Ltd have tied up with some of the companies that have got
approval for setting up payment banks and hence will not be affected much.
5) Benefit to government:
Such institutions will benefit the government in acquiring low cost loans because the only
borrower from the payment banks will be the government itself (lending to account holders is
not allowed).
CURRENCY CIRCULATION
Presently, currency circulation is less in urban areas due to the use of Debit/Credit Cards and
Internet/Mobile Banking compared to rural and semi urban areas. With Payment Banks using
Technology-mobile phones and bio-metric system (Aadhar Card enabled bank accounts)-the
use of currency circulation in these areas too will decrease drastically. Payment of utility bills,
tax payments, and small business transactions will change to Wire Transactions. This will help
fight the problem of forged notes and reduce the import of paper for printing currency.
Attracting deposits for lending is one of the core activities of the Commercial Banking system.
However, mobilising deposits and investing them in safe mode-in treasury bills, government
securities-is called Narrow Banking. Since Payment Banks are mandated to invest their
mobilised funds in government securities, these maybe classified under the ‘Narrow Banking
100% SAFETY
The Maximum Deposit to be mobilised by Payment Banks has been capped at Rs.1,00,000/-.
The maximum deposits guarantee covered by DICGC is also Rs.1,00,000/-this means
depositors’ funds with payment banks are Completely Secure. This is one of the USPs that will
attract Savings Bank Accounts to Payment Banks-most customers in the Rural Areas seek
complete security for their hard earned savings funds. The activation of these Banks across the
country will also lead to the decline of Chit Funds, and other unauthorized institutions that
exploit Rural Population.
HIGH SPREAD
The Operational Cost for these banks is less compared to Conventional Banking system.
Further the use of latest Technology will increase the Spread of their business operations. In
addition to Spreads, as these banks are authorised to sell other financial products such as Life
Insurance, General Insurance and Mutual Funds like SIPs, etc. Presently Life and General
Insurance penetration levels are low in India when compared to other countries. Payment Banks
will increase the penetration level of these products. Moreover the fee-based income through
Cross Selling will add to their Bottom-Line.
Payment banks are authorised to mobilise Savings Bank accounts up to Rs.1, 00,000/- from
salaried employees, petty vendors, agriculturists, landless labourers and small scales. This one
product approach will be hugely beneficial as marketing skills required to sell this product is
minimal. Further, this niche segment is not fully tapped by Commercial Banks. The differential
service provided by the Payment Banks to the customer will result in high profitability.
REACH
In India, Mobile Usage is increasing and people-including rural population is well informed
about its usage and functionalities. Mobile Service Providers have been allotted licenses to start
Payment Banks. These providers using latest technology will reach the customers in the Nnook
and corner of the country easily incurring least cost of operations.
Brick and Mortar Banking is a Capital-intensive Business Model and Commercial Banks would
find it difficult to open branches in the unbanked and far-flung areas as incremental cost would
exceed incremental benefit. With the help of Business Correspondents or Franchise Banking
System, Payment Banks will provide Low Cost services to the Customers located in the Remote
Areas.

In a country where there are more mobile phone owners than bank account holders, digital
financial services are expected to receive significant traction. Banks are increasingly using
digital platforms for serving both the unbanked and the under banked population, especially in
rural/remote regions, as the costs are significantly lower as compared to traditional banking
channels. Digital financial services offering helps banks operate on low cost models and
thereby positively impacts their overall profitability of banks. Furthermore, with an increase in
financial inclusion and digitalization of banking, requirement of cash in the economy will
reduce, thereby helping in controlling unaccounted money in the economy. The main
With almost 2/3rd of the Indian population living in villages, we see that approximately 50%
of the Indian population is unbanked and thus lacks banking accounts and its facilities.
Payments banks will provide secure cashless transactions using the digital medium. It will use
mobile data services to enable monetary transfers and thereby ensure each transaction is
recorded (to reduce black money).
Another important benefit is cash digitisation. Nearly 90% of transactions in India are typically
cash based, but demonetisation has given a huge push to payments banks with its emphasis on
digital transactions. We have already witnessing new set of customers, including vendors,
grocers and small business owners, opting for cashless payments. The adoption level has only
increase going forward, and payments banks have facilitated this digital transformation.
Through these payment banks, RBI aims to bring the vast unbanked population under digital
economy. Use of digital platforms can help consumers spend their money safely and securely,
save and build credit profiles for lending opportunities unavailable in the informal banking
sector, and participate in a growing online economy.
RBI has always emphasized upon the deepening and widening the reach of Financial Services
so as to cover a large segment of the rural & poor sections of population. But rural area cannot
get the fruits of all these. To overcome these limitations RBI introduced payment bank. The
Conclusion
Millions of Indians don’t have access to banking facilities. They cannot avail of government
benefits, loans and insurance, and even interest on savings. M- Banking, PMJDY and IPPB
will reach the un-banked and the under-banked across all cross sections of society and
geographies.
The concept of Payment bank was first floated by RBI Committee led by Board member
Nachiket Mor. The committee on comprehensive financial services for small businesses and
low income formed in 2013 came out with its report in early-2014. Main objective of Payment
bank is to reduce the working burden of Commercial banks. For this, RBI has given approval
to 11 companies out of 41 applicants. It primarily provides remittance, payment services,
transfer money directly to bank account etc. It cannot involve in any credit risk.
Conclusion
Payment Banks promises to be a game-changer because of by using the mobile platform to
provide basic banking transactions through mobile phones. The decision to license some of the
country’s biggest corporate and mobile telecom firms to start payment banks promises to be a
similar game-changer in India.
Payments Bank is a new kind of bank which is promoted with the express purpose of extending
the reach of banking to vast majority of the unbanked and under banked segments of the
population. Payments bank promoted by India Post is expected to use the physical network of
post offices as well as digital platforms such as mobile, internet banking, debit cards, point of
sale devices, etc. to provide the designated financial services at low cost to target population.
Payments Bank might be able to provide last mile connectivity especially in those areas which
do not have any bank branches but has a post office. Its’ huge presence in rural areas and the
trust that it enjoys among vast segments of population might enable it to succeed where
commercial banks have failed. The present study examines the role and objectives of payments
banks with special reference to India Post Payments Bank, relevance in achieving financial
inclusion objective, prospective challenges and problems, suggestions for overcoming those.
Conclusion
Payments Bank established by the Department of Posts has the potential to be the most
accessible banking network in the country. With the postal delivery system combined with
digital platform such as mobile, internet banking, prepaid instruments, debit cards, ATMs,
point of sale devices, Payments bank is set to be the face of transformation of post offices and
be major drivers in financial inclusion initiative of the Government of India. However, to
realize its potential, it is necessary to undertake modernization of post offices so as to provide
uniform service. As post man is to be interface between the bank and the customer, he should
be adequately trained to provide banking services. Products should be tailored to the
requirements of customers and high level of awareness should be created about them. Once it
succeeds in being an effective channel for providing savings, payments and remittance
facilities, its activities can be extended to encompass extension of credit as well.
In Indian economy have been cashless transaction and today banks played very important role
in the society. Payment banks have another innovative banking service in India, payment banks
5 Varun Kesavan August (2015) “The Diversification of Banks to the Era of Payment

6 Madhavi Damle, Pushpendra Thenuan, Jimit Raval (2016) “Genesis of Payment Banks:
It’s Stimulus on the financial inclusion in India”
India is facing challenges of achieving financial inclusion with 1.25 Billion of population
where 64% of population is still unbaked or do not use any formal financial services where
large number of people belong from rural India. To study aspect of financial inclusion in India
Nachiket Mor Committee is established in 2013. The Committee has proposed to set up of
Payments Banks whose primary objective is to provide small savings accounts, payments and
remittance services to a migrant labour workforce, low income households, small businesses,
and based on recommendation RBI grants “in-principle” approval to 11 Applicants for
Payments Banks to provide financial inclusion based on banking penetration, deposited
penetration, infrastructure, popularity, technology and past experience which includes
organization from different domain like telecom service provider(TSPs), mobile wallet,
banking services, consumer goods, postal offices, business correspondence. Our paper reviews
the parameter for financial inclusion and business model of existing system and payment bank
and issues faced by traditional banking system includes Business correspondent (BC), ATM,
mobile banking, Basic Saving Bank Deposit and pre-paid instrument (PPI) which can be
overcome using payment bank. It also includes analysis and study of 11 Applicants for
Payments Banks received in-principle and capability to penetrate rural India to provide
financial inclusion. Payment banks are a good way of reaching the masses for the even the
smallest of payment at the odd hours, which defiantly makes the payment systems viable for
the masses. Also as Indian system is that the masses majorly deal in cash and this system
becomes the pseudo cash handling system and so it is this that digitally captures even the
smallest transactions.
Conclusion
The payments-bank model is potentially an important innovation, which will help increase the
scale and efficiency of the financial inclusion process. There are several concerns raised about
the viability of the Payments Bank as large profitable banks are offering payment services in a
big way.
Conclusion
Payment Bank play crucial role in banking sector because of its have there is no restriction on
the income levels of those who wish to open accounts in payment banks, those who have salary
accounts in regular bank accounts can also open an account in a payment bank Individuals can
use the payment bank account to make daily or monthly cash transactions, either through debit
card or through mobile.

The part innovation is expanding step by step. The different parts of India are developing at a
much fasters pace with the assistance of innovation. The achievement of internet managing an
account, portable keeping money and payment bank is likewise a consequence of the new
advancements that have come up and upgraded the client encounter and has additionally

the other hand has additionally turned into the most critical piece of Indian managing an
account segment. It offers modern items and administrations to the customers with the
persistent item and process advancements. One of the issues related with web based managing
an account in India is that one can't access to web based keeping money in the event that he/she
don't have a web association and numerous country territories in India still don't have a web
association. Payment banks will be a distinct advantage. This is one of the real strides taken by
RBI in pushing the money related incorporation in the nation. This advancement is relied upon
to quicken India's adventure into a cashless economy.
Payment banks can be conceptualized and understood an entity similar to traditional banks but
catering to a niche area. The main aim of a payments bank is to provide small savings accounts;
