New Delhi,May 8, 2014,DHNS : I ndia is set to have i ts own card payment platform 'RuPay'.President Pranab Mukherjee unveiled the indigenous card at a function in Rashtrapati Bhavan on Thursday.

Conceived and launched by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), RuPay facilitates electronic payment at all Indian banks and financial institutions, and will compete with MasterCard and Visa.RuPay holders will be able to carry out transactions on three channels -ATMs,Point of Sales and online.RuPay will initially be a payment option within the country and is likely to become a mode of payment overseas as well later.

"For a large country like India with a rapidly growing economy,the volume of payment transactions, specially those settled through cards, will be significant in the years ahead. Transactions which are mostly settled today either by way of cash or cheque will progressively make way for card-based payment transactions as the economy matures and Internet penetration increases said President Mukherjee.

The RuPay platform is expected to reduce cash transactions.According to NPCI, since the transaction processing will happen domestically, it would lead to lower cost of clearing and settlement per transaction. This will make the transaction cost affordable and drive usage of RuPay cards in the industry.

For clearing and settlement of each transaction,banks will pay approximately 40 per cent lower by way of fees on the RuPay platform compared to international platforms like Visa and MasterCard.

Speaking on the occasion,the President congratulated the Reserve Bank of India for having envisioned the need for such an indigenously managed service in 2005 and for entrusting this task to the NationalPayments Corporation of India (NPCI) soon after its operationalisation in 2010. He said that it usually takes five to seven years to build a fully functional card payment network. He was happy to note that the NPCIcould make the RuPay service operational by April 2013.

The RuPay platform has been developed by NPCI. It is being used by certain banks like ICICI,State Bank of India, Punjab NationalBank,among others,for clearing and settlement.

RuPay, which works on three channels-ATMs,Point of Sales (POS) and online sales, is the seventh such payment gateway in the world.

It is also accepted by 9.45 1akh plus PoS (point of sale) terminals in India.Most of the eCom merchants in the country adding up to 10,000 are now accepting RuPay cards as well, according to official sources.

A variant of this card called the Kisan Card is also being issued by public sector banks. This is in addition to the mainstream debit card issued by around 43 banks in India.

A variant of this pre-paid RuPay card will soon be launched by the IRCTC as welL Nearly 150 cooperative banks and regional rural banks will also be issued the RuPay ATM card. The totalnumber of cards issued till date is 17 million. The numbers are growing by about 3 million per month. Rupay is a new card payment scheme.It has been coined keeping the two terms Rupee and Payment in mind.

This card is an epitome ofthe capabilities ofthe banking industry. It focuses on building a card payment network so that the dependence on the internationalcard schemes lessens. RuPay is being developed by the National Payments Corporation of India which is a not for profit company put into action by the RBI. It has been created by the banking industry.

RuPay is a domestic card scheme which has been developed and launched by the NPCL It is createdto fulfilthe demand of the RBI to create an open and multilateral system of payments in India. RuPay facilitates the payment through electronic means at all the Indian banks and financial institutions. It is in direct competition with companies such as Visa and MasterCard in India. The RuPay card will gain international acceptance through NPCI's ties with Discover FinanciaL

Currently,the Indian market has huge potential for card schemes such as this. Indian merchants, traders, consumers and banks will benefit tremendously from this card scheme.Some of the adVantages of RuPay debit cards are the high levels of acceptance and a nexible product platform.

Lower cost and affordability of the card is another major positive factor that will help it to become one of the top ways for a transaction in India. As transaction processing is within domestic shores,it has led to lower cost of clearing and ease of settlement for all the transactions. The card will become popular within the industry because of its low cost of usage.

Customized product offering is another important adVantage ofthe RuPay card scheme. This is a domestic scheme which is concerned with the development of customized products and services for consumers in India. The information pertaining to Indian consumers is also protected through this method. All the customer and transaction data pertaining to RuPay will remain in India.
