Reminiscences on implementation from the war-room – The donation platform for Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund i

FOREWORD

The Chief Ministers Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) is a unique e-governance application developed by Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT) as a part of the Chief Ministers Office (CMO) Suite. This is eventually envisaged as an integrated monitoring and decision support tool for innovative policy interventions.

The donation portal was developed a sequel to the CMO suite in the context of the August’18 natural calamity and has contributed substantively to the efforts towards rebuilding Kerala. The effort was unique in that it could bring together several partner , partner technology companies, start-ups, and individuals many of whom worked pro-bono. The solution had withstood tough weather and has shown its metal.

I am happy that the endeavour has been systematically documented so that the product could be evaluated and further improved.

M Sivasankar IAS Director, C-DIT

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Finance Department Government of Kerala had entrusted the responsibility of developing a donation portal for the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund on 11 August 2018. The donation portal is the outcome of a systematic effort by C-DIT during the last two months. The portal and documentation could not have been a reality without the work, support, ideas, encouragement and generous contributions of many individuals and organisation. I have to start with mentioning the enormous support extended by Shri. Manoj Joshi IAS, Principal Secretary (Finance) right from the commencement of the project till the completion.

G. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The donation portal was part of the unparalleled public action against the worst flood and deluge which Kerala had witnessed hundred years. The rescue, relief and rebuilding which brought the best out of the polity, a proactive approach of the bureaucracy and technocracy, the Police, the Fire force, Armed forces and the exquisite resilience and unity of the people exemplified by the bravery and gallantry of the fisher folk. It was in this context that the donation portal was architected, developed and implemented.

The donation portal which was developed by the software development team at the Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT) is a transaction portal which put in place a proposition viz. “Stand with Kerala” and provided benefits in terms of speed and ease of use and was integrated with the backend CMDRF system. The interesting aspect was that it was developed in the midst of the unprecedented flood and it improved continuously during a short span, establishing itself and stabilising on its performance. During the two months period an average six new features were added every four days thus adding seventy two features till now.

The overall portal architecture comprised of a donor registration and payment portal with multiple payment gateways together with a receipt printing system and grievance redressal system, which were cordoned with a cyber-security information and event management system. The portal was also integrated to a big data based targeting and retargeting system based on social media analysis and data management platform. A variety of services like salary challenge services, Non Resident India (NRI) services, exchange house services, support services for cross border transactions have been added. An operation system handling cash receipts, cheques and demand drafts in the secretariat and the finance department as well as the Chief Minister’s office was integrated through a digitisation system. Bank scrolls were updated along with inputs of an auditor for reconciliation and settlement.

The setup of the cyber security measures necessary to build and protect the internet facing system viz. the registration of donors, making payments in the gateways, filing of grievances and issues of print receipts etc. by applying security

information collecting technology (SIEM) and connecting the site log sources (web server, web application firewall, load balancer and other cloud information services) to the Global Cyber Defence Centre which was an Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven platform for chat operations, incident response orchestration with threat intelligence and play room activation were visualised in mid August itself.

The relief donor list validation in Blockchain was an afterthought. Subsequently the concept of a C-DIT Blockchain node for uniquely identifying transactions and correlating them across various stakeholder was thought off. The nucleus of the product were the multiple payment gateways. Nineteen payment gateways have been integrated. This included six international gateways and nineteen domestic gateways. Fourteen banks have been linked to these gateways. Fifteen aggregators have been also linked to these gateways.

Three banks have non-aggregator gateways and four aggregators don’t have separate accounts linked to them and made transfers to the CMDRF Account. Thirteen UPI interfaces were created, six e-wallets and two mobile wallets were also provided partly in the gateways and part outside. Forty eight cards, forty eight debit cards, seven pg UPI, eight e-wallets, seven international gateway services and seventeen domestic gateway connects were provided. Transfers from sixty nine Banks was possible through Internet Banking.

During the period till October 28th the gateway has touched a total of 200 crores. The overall collection has crossed 2000 crores. The distribution of transaction across banks for various channels of subscriptions indicate advantages of diversity.

The digital media interaction done involved the following four channels

i. Customer engagement through integrated email and SMS campaigns using Oracle Responsys. ii. Social listening and monitoring via Oracle Social Relationship Management (SRM). iii. Customer acquisition and optimisation of advertisement spend via Oracle Data Management Platform (DMP) iv. Facebook and Google advertising using facebook analytic tools and insights v. WhatsApp business platform integration for notification

C-DIT had approached Cyber dome & UST Global is proud to offer an advanced Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) offering for cyber protection for Chief Minister Distress Relief Fund donation portal. The services covered detection, response and remediation for the internet facing systems of the portal by applying security information collecting technology (SIEM). The site log sources (Web server, WAF, load balancer and other cloud information sources) were connected to Global Cyber Defence Centre viz. CyberProof which is an AI driven, incident response orchestration platform which unlocks the value and power of their security tools and integrates them into a single response hub. Cyber Proof is also provided with SEEMO an AI-ML BOT for Incident Response and supplements security analysts by automating investigation workflows, gathering evidence, and providing them guidance on what to look for next.

C-DIT’s CMO-CMDRF team was a traditional development team geared to work on relatively convenient targets and fairly plain and obvious tasks. Undertaking a war- room strategy to finish tasks with in a fixed time under difficult conditions was a challenging task. The specific challenges are outlined.

Challenge 1: A contingency plan status

The CMDRF donation portal was a plan B, the plan A being the CMDRF portal integrated with the Government of Kerala website developed by the Kerala State Information Technology Mission (KSITM). The donation portal remained a plan B till such time it established its primacy through improved performance.

Challenge 2: Coping up with the emotional surge following the public action

The public action that was launched by the Government of Kerala and the people to withstand the unparalleled natural disaster and to handle the rescue, rehabilitation and relief was exceptional and this invoked wide acclaim and esteem. Massive traffic on the CMDRF portal was a natural outcome.

Centre for Development and Imaging Technology (C-DIT) V 7.0 Reminiscences on implementation from the war-room – The donation platform for Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund xx

Challenge 3: The challenges 3 had been the difficulties in issuing certificates to a large number of donors because of gaps in scroll data uploaded by banks. The gaps are being addressed by triangulation from various bank statements like CBS data, cheque clearance statements etc.

The major learnings and recommendations for follow up are as follows: i The building up of the donation platform for Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund was a unique experience which brought together technology, social media and professional management from C-DIT, startups and a few corporates for rapid development and deployment. ii The internet facing payment services has been tested extensively and performance fine-tuned. The system is cloud hosted and is fully scalable on demand. The security of the system is also ensured. One of the limitations in the system is that banks are connected to the Government of Kerala Portal through various aggregators for gateway payments. The settlement of the gateway transactions happen offline because of this. By providing a blockchain system with a node for each bank the transactions can get updated in the real time with complete traceability pursuing this can help handling crowdsourcing accounts for rebuild Kerala in a transparent, secure and traceable manner. iii Systems for activating and Paypal accounts have been completed. Integrating Stripe would help international payments and Paypal would add further to the diversity of payment systems. Incorporating these would help handling crowdsourcing accounts for rebuild Kerala in an improve manner. iv Cross border transactions from international agencies using methods other than internet banking, credit cards and debit cards is still a pain point. This could be addressed using SWIFT global payment innovation (gpi) services. However this requires the to subscribe to the service full end to end tracking of cross border payments would be possible with this. Only ICICI bank has this service in the country presently. This would help handling crowdsourcing accounts to rebuild Kerala. v Another option is to create virtual payments address (VPA) for the consumers in an underlying bank account and making transfers to the VPA.

Centre for Development and Imaging Technology (C-DIT) V 7.0 Reminiscences on implementation from the war-room – The donation platform for Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund xxi

The bank can handle the NOSTRO triggers and facilitate settlement. This could be an extremely useful solution for handling crowdsourcing accounts for rebuild Kerala. vi Extending the salary challenge in Government to the private sector is a distinct possibility. The NACH based system is available. This could be supplemented by combining UPI with e-Mandate which would make repeated payments extremely convenient. Final Mile Consulting is preparing a strategy based on behavioural science and cognitive neuro science to support the Government of Kerala in this regard. vii Along with the payment processing and handling settlements the donation portal has a full-fledged social media – digital payment – cross channel communication system linked to a Customer Relations Management (CRM) system. This system could be productively used for rebuild Kerala initiatives. viii Profiling of the digital traffic on the CMDRF site has been done. Using the Oracle Data Management Platform possible profiles for digital marketing have been created. This could be leveraged effectively for rebuild Kerala initiatives. ix The integration of WhatsApp business platform with CMDRF has tremendous potential. The notification capability of the platform was sparingly used. This could be leveraged effectively for rebuild Kerala initiatives.

1. Introduction

The development and deployment of the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) applications had been a classic use case of a workflow based public service delivery where some concepts of Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) have been applied. See Annexure 1 for a brief outline of how BPR was done in CMDRF. The object of the core application software for CMDRF was to process requests from the public for relief to families and individuals undergoing medical treatment for major diseases as well as those who are affected by natural calamities disasters etc. The application software covers the workflow handling the requests from the public, the due diligence and the process of sanctions or rejections and handles disbursement of relief through the payment systems for direct beneficiary transfer. The CMDRF scheme is primarily a scheme funded from non-plan resources of the state government and the aspects of resource allocation and overall expenditure was not covered by the application as such. The CMDRF scheme also had the option for raising funds through voluntary contributions and private donations. Such contributions have been made eligible for 100% deduction under section 80G of the Income Tax Act. However, this option was not seriously pursued till the Kerala floods in August 2018, when the donation portal was developed.

2. Seventy-two features in two months

The donation portal which was developed by the software development team at Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT) is a transaction portal which put in place a value proposition “Stand with Kerala” and provided benefits in terms of speed and ease of use and was integrated to the backend CMDRF system. The interesting aspect of the portal was that it was developed in the midst of the unprecedented flood and it improved itself continuously during a short span, establishing itself and stabilising on performance. During the two months period on an average six new features were added every four days thus adding seventy-two features till now.

The salary challenge1 services, special services for NRIs2, the exchange house payment services3 and cross border payment settlement services4 were initiated based on

1 While the Government of Kerala was striving to mobilize resources to outlive the deluge that has damaged the state totally, the Chief Minister had urged all the government employees to contribute generously their one-month salary towards disaster relief fund. It had been estimated that the state was badly in need of nearly Rs.30,000/- crores to recover and revamp its devastated regions and condition of flood victims. It was expected that the salary contribution of the employees would bring Rs.3800/- crores to the relief fund. Under these circumstances, the government employees and pensioners were asked to contribute their salary and pension amount to Chief Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund. A provision for Mandate Management System (MMS) was created using National Account Clearing House (NACH) services. This involves e-sign and electronic signature service which can facilitate an Adhaar holder to digitally sign a document within seconds. The signatures generated by e-sign are legally valid and secure under IT Act 2000. The processes are provided in figure below. The provision was not used for salary challenge since government had decided not to collect mandates and deductions were done through Service and Payroll Administrative Repository for Kerala (SPARK) and treasury payment system considering the challenges in API creation. The feature could still be used for salary challenge in the private sector.

2 Non-Resident associations requested a feature for group collections, aggregated payments and individual receipts. A similar demand had come up from some local corporates. 3 In the wake of the floods in the State of Kerala and the representations received from the Authorised Dealer Cat - I banks, seeking permission to receive funds in the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund - Kerala through the exchange houses, the , decided in consultation with the Government of India, to permit receipt of remittances to the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund - Kerala through exchange houses, subject to the condition that the remittances were directly credited to the fund by the banks and the banks maintain full details of the remitters. 4 A broad definition would regard a cross-border payment as a transaction that involves individuals, corporations, settlement institutions, central banks or a combination thereof, in at least two different countries. The payers used payment service providers of their choice and demanded immediate clearing and settlement services which was not manageable at the payee end.

demand. In order to cater to the non-digital payment methods arrangements for collecting cheques and drafts from public were organised in collectorates and the secretariat. These mechanisms were also integrated with the donation portal. The settlements for the non-payment gateway transactions were organised in the respective bank accounts after clearance. The banks were requested to provide the details of the non-payment gateway transactions through scroll updates. The data from the non-payment gateway transactions was integrated with the payment gateway transactions in order to establish a consolidated Customer Relations Management (CRM) database. These requirements necessitated a trained Tesseract Engine Optical Character Reader (OCR) based digitisation tool and google lens5 based mobile scanner application development also. This CRM database was also used for targeting and re- targeting and also for pushing print receipt to donors. A grievance mechanism for handling delays in issues of print receipts was also added. The aspects of developing a Cyber security information and event management system and digital media-based targeting and retargeting were also envisaged right at the inception.

The set-up of the cyber security measures necessary to build and protect these Internet facing systems viz. the registration of donors and filing of grievances etc.by applying security information collecting technology (SIEM) and connecting the site log sources (Web server, Web Application Firewall (WAF), load balancer and other cloud information sources) to the Global Cyber Defense Center which was an Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven platform for chat operations, incident response orchestration along with threat Intelligence and playbook activation. See figure 4 below.

The digital media targeting involved social media initiatives using twitter, google ads and face book. Provision for email and SMS campaigns were also provided. Analysis of social media sentiments using preconfigured semantic filters to extract and analyse precise aspects of interesting conversations was also done. Social media insights were drawn in from Facebook and google AdWords and used for audience profiling, targeting and retargeting. The relief donor list validation on Blockchain was an afterthought. Subsequently the concept of a C-DIT blockchain node for uniquely identifying transactions and correlating them across various stakeholders was thought of. See figure 5. The objective was to improve traceability of all transactions happening in the CMDRF system directly linked to the bank end transaction systems. The payment gateway transactions get recorded on the Blockchain Node before getting transferred to the gateway. The response also gets updated on the Blockchain mode before it gets updated in the CMDRF database. In the case of a non-payment gateway transactions, it gets recorded in the Blockchain node in the CMDRF operations system initially. The

banking system records pertaining to the original transaction also gets recorded on the Blockchain node from the core banking system, payment clearance system etc depending on the channel of transaction like Cheque, Demand Draft, Bank Transfer, National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT6), Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS7) Immediate Payment Service (IMPS8) transaction etc. 3.2 Blockchaining transactions Figure 5 - Blockchaining transactions

The nucleus of the product were the multiple payment gateways which have been described in table 1 below. Nineteen payments gateway have been integrated9. This includes six international gateways and nineteen domestic gateways. Fourteen banks have been linked to these gateways. Fifteen aggregators have been also linked to these gateways.

Three banks have non-aggregator gateways and four aggregators don’t have separate accounts linked to them and made transfers to the State Bank of India CMDRF Account. Thirteen UPI11 interfaces were created, six e-wallets12 and two mobile wallets13 were also provided partly in the gateways and part outside. The extent of services provided through the payment gateways is shown in table 2. Forty eight credit cards, forty eight debit cards, seven pg UPI, eight e-wallets, seven international gateway services and seventeen domestic gateway connects were provided. Transfers from sixty nine Banks was possible through Internet Banking.

The response on the portal to the product development is provided below in figures 6 to 8. The cumulative count of transactions using the payment gateways for various banks across the period of program running aggregated week wise is provided in figure 6. By the proportion of transactions, the prominent gateways belong to State Bank of India, HDFC and PayU. The least prominent among the gateways belonged to Andhra Bank, Kotak Mahindra, Dhanlakshmi Bank, Catholic Syrian Bank and the Canara Bank. The growth of transactions was however prominent among the laggards like Andhra Bank and Indian Overseas Bank. Among the prominent contributors HDFC and State Bank of India had good growth rates.

Figure 7 relates to total amounts collected through various payment gateways. By the quantum of collections, the prominent gateways belong to State Bank of India, HDFC, South Indian Bank, PayU and ICICI Bank. The least prominent among the gateways belonged to Dhanlakshmi Bank, Andhra Bank, Catholic Syrian Bank, Canara Bank and the Kotak Mahindra. The growth of transactions was however prominent among the laggards like Andhra Bank, Indian Overseas Bank and Punjab National Bank. Among the prominent contributors HDFC, State Bank of India Axis Bank and Federal Bank had good growth rates.

An interesting aspect is the variation across gateways in per transaction value of collections. The lowest per transaction was for Airtel and the per transaction value was around Rs 600. The per transaction values for PayU, State Bank of India, HDFC and ICICI are all below Rs 6000. The highest among the per transaction values is for Andhra Bank, Kotak Mahindra and Indian Overseas Bank followed by State Bank of India (International) and South Indian Bank (International).

The distribution of payments through the payment gateway and non-payment gateway channels is interesting. This has been updated through a scroll update system outline in table 3. As could be seen data from 15 sources across 11 channels are integrated. 18 variables are covered in the scroll. The output generated is provided in table 4. Across banks State Bank of India has a share of 84.80% followed by South Indian Bank with 4.51% and Paytm with 3.31%. Channel of transaction wise digital methods covers 34.19% of the total with RTGS / NEFT / IMPS contributing 24.81% UPI 2.59% and Paytm (including UPI, Mobile wallet and mobile banking) 3.31%, Cheque and Demand Drafts cover 45.91% and cash 19.90%.

In UPI services SBI was at the top followed by HDFC. In /Debit card, Canara Bank, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank followed SBI at the top. In RTGS, SBI topped followed by South Indian Bank as a poor second. In cheque and DD, South Indian Bank was a grateful second to SBI. In cash transactions Federal Bank was the second even though well below SBI. The superior position of SBI came from two factors

i.) The position that SBI has as the primary banker for the government ii.) In all government campaigns SBI account was promoted majorly

The individual banks had come up with their own digital campaigns at our request over sms, mail, social media and through ATMs which definitely helped the overall resource mobilisation.

The distribution of count of transaction and collection across transaction classes is shown in figure 9. The count of transactions are heavily skewed below 5000 covering more than 97% of the total transactions. 46.06% of the transaction being below Rs 51, 19.60% between Rs 51 to Rs 100, 12.73% between Rs 200 and Rs 500 and 8.24% between Rs 100 and Rs 200. Interestingly the collection is skewed at the other end of the slabs with 62.41% contributions coming from donations above 50 lakh.

These transaction are only 260 in number. The transactions between 1 crore and 10 crore from corporates, associations and philanthropists comes to 29.87% of the total collection14. These figures however don’t reflect the contributions from the salary challenge.

The average transaction value comes to Rs 4477.03 and the variation of average value across slabs is shown in figure 10. The skewing of collection across the slabs above 1 crore is a result of the higher average value in the respective transactions skews.

5.1 Details of Implementation The salient aspects of implementation are provided below.

i. Vulnerability assessment was done ii. Threat Intelligence platform was established to monitor the social media iii. A focused intelligent drive was initiated to detect all bogus and replicated sites, phishing campaigns, disinformation campaigns using a monitoring drive on all websites iv. A focused phishing detection and negation drive, to review whether the payment process confirms to full Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was put in place v. Report of intelligence from Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) 17 and dark web18 scanning was integrated vi. A dashboard providing incident response platform access was provided to the C-DIT team configured and connected with cyber proof automation and incident response platform for continuous monitoring of sys logs

5.2 Summary of monitoring: During the period of monitoring 2864 offenses were recorded in SIEM. All the offenses were based on logs from AWS Load Balancer and AWS WAF. These offences were received as alerts in the cyber Defence Centre (CDC) platform and were checked by analysts (Tier 1-4). From alerts that were containing information about suspicious activity, incidents were created for additional enrichment and focused investigation. In Total 18 Incident were created from 1136 connected alerts. The screen shots are provided below in figure 29.

17 Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) are two types of vulnerability testing. The tests have different strengths and are often combined to achieve a more complete vulnerability analysis.

18 Dark web sites are the meeting and market places for emerging cyber threats. These are rich sources of intelligence, often relevant to a broad spectrum of potential targets that aren’t accessible through conventional monitoring.

6. Challenges in implementation

The specific challenges faced are outline below.

i. C-DIT’s CMO-CMDRF team was a traditional development team geared to work on relatively convenient targets and fairly plain and obvious tasks. Undertaking a war-room strategy to finish tasks with in a fixed time under difficult conditions was a challenging task. A strategy of exploration oriented thinking involving exploration, testing and re-design was adopted Working with in a public sector framework the only option of motivation was building self-esteem and self-confidence through intense teamwork and deliberations. The general atmosphere of phenomenal voluntary work unity and social commitment that surfaced in the state as a part of the public action for rescue rehabilitation and rebuild Kerala served as a shot in the arm for the activities. ii. Challenge 1: A contingency plan status The CMDRF donation portal was a plan B, the plan A being the CMDRF portal integrated with the Government of Kerala website developed by the Kerala State Information Technology Mission (KSITM). The donation portal remained a plan B till such time it established its primacy through improved performance. However the plan B status threw open an opportunity for building self- esteem and self confidence in the C-DIT team since CMDRF was an ongoing project and donation portal an extension of CMDRF was looked upon as an entitlement project which C-DIT should deliver. Posing of a challenge in developing the donation portal along with a parallel scheme undertaken by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) team for KSITM triggered self-esteem and motivation. The challenge was portrayed as an effort to prevent loss of a natural extension of an existing project which was fairly well managed by C-DIT. The operational model proposed involved the following: a) Adopting an inclusive strategy of multiple agencies to provide diverse options to the donors

Centre for Development and Imaging Technology (C-DIT) V 7.0

Reminiscences on implementation from the war-room – The donation platform for Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund 37

b) Carrying out a digital media campaign simultaneously to achieve the outcomes c) Adding new features continuously to improve outreach and performance d) Integrating with partners and resources outside C-DIT with specialise strengths to achieve better results e) Adopting appropriate infrastructure for horizontal and vertical scalability The C-DIT team after deliberations accepted all aspects of the operational model except the (v)th component citing above inability to cope up with un-familiarly technology challenges within a short notice. iii. An intense war-room mode of continuous interaction cutting across the various teams handling design and development, UX content, communication and infrastructure was put in place. Three workshops were organised to streamline the activities. Meetings were held daily including holidays and two times a day when there were issues to manage. Eighty three hours spend for review meetings from August 14th till the time writing of the report. The project management sessions were synchronised with frequent meetings with the Finance Secretaries Office and occasional interactions with the Chief Minister’s Office. 29 WhatsApp groups19 were created to handle communications across various stakeholders. Customer feedback was consolidated and used as a major driver in re-design. iv. Challenge 2: Coping up with the emotional surge following the public action The public action that was launched by the Government of Kerala and the people to withstand the unparalleled natural disaster and to handle the rescue, rehabilitation and relief was exceptional and this invoked wide acclaim and esteem. Massive traffic on the CMDRF portal was a natural outcome.

v. The parameters of system performance generated during the period starting 14 August is revealing. On 18th August the distribution of users on the portal from 14th August is shown in figure 26. It rose to 1,80,000 on 16th August, 3,52,000 on 17th August and 4,20,000 on 18th August. Even though the C-DIT tem had initially expressed difficulty in migration on to the cloud seeing the response the team eventually agreed to this. vi. A former C-DIT employee was identified as a resource, proposals obtained from Amazon and migration was planned. On 18th August 2018 in the night after the traffic declines. But 18th as the traffic shot up, the band width and resources required exploited and the donation portal crashed by afternoon. On 19th early morning migration to the AWS server was done. The details of the AWS infrastructure established is provided in table 8 and figure 30.

viii. Challenge 3: The challenges 3 had been the difficulties in issuing certificates to a large number of donors because of gaps in scroll data uploaded by banks. The gaps are being addressed by triangulation from various bank statements like CBS data, cheque clearance statements etc.

7. Conclusion and further steps

i The building up of the donation platform for Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund was a unique experience which brought together technology, social media and professional management from C-DIT, startups and a few corporates for rapid development and deployment. ii The internet facing payment services has been tested extensively and performance fine-tuned. The system is cloud hosted and is fully scalable on demand. The security of the system is also ensured. One of the limitations in the system is that banks are connected to the Government of Kerala Portal through various aggregators for gateway payments. The settlement of the gateway transactions happen offline because of this. By providing a blockchain system with a node for each bank the transactions

can get updated in the real time with complete traceability pursuing this can help handling crowdsourcing accounts for rebuild Kerala in a transparent, secure and traceable manner. iii Systems for activating Stripe and Paypal accounts have been completed. Integrating Stripe would help international payments and Paypal would add further to the diversity of payment systems. Incorporating these would help handling crowdsourcing accounts for rebuild Kerala in an improve manner. iv Cross border transactions from international agencies using methods other than internet banking, credit cards and debit cards is still a pain point. This could be addressed using SWIFT global payment innovation (gpi) services. However this requires the Indian bank to subscribe to the service full end to end tracking of cross border payments would be possible with this. Only ICICI bank has this service in the country presently. This would help handling crowdsourcing accounts to rebuild Kerala. v Another option is to create virtual payments address (VPA) for the consumers in an underlying bank account and making transfers to the VPA. The bank can handle the NOSTRO triggers and facilitate settlement. This could be an extremely useful solution for handling crowdsourcing accounts for rebuild Kerala. vi Extending the salary challenge in Government to the private sector is a distinct possibility. The NACH based system is available. This could be supplemented by combining UPI with e-Mandate which would make repeated payments extremely convenient. Final Mile Consulting is preparing a strategy based on behavioural sciences and cognitive neuro sciences to support the Government of Kerala in this regard. vii Along with the payment processing and handling settlements the donation portal has a full-fledged social media – digital payment – cross channel communication system linked to a Customer Relations Management (CRM) system. This system could be productively used for rebuild Kerala initiatives. viii Profiling of the digital traffic on the CMDRF site has been done.

The quantum of priority cases and percentage of application from the backward districts also increases drastically from 1.57 to 31.09 and from 15.54 % to 17.23% as indicated below Outcome of BPR by type of application and backwardness of district Attribute Before 2018 2018 Priority 1.57 31.09 Non –Priority 98.43 68.91 Backward district 15.54 17.23 Other district 84.46 82.77

The coverage of applications increased from 68,346 to 1,47,351 during the period through multiple channels village office, Akshaya, web, mobile and at “Straight forward Counter” in the secretariat. The number of decisions made (approvals, rejections, GOs issued, DBT transfers) increased from 32,097 to 1,30,761 very clearly demonstrating the overall effectiveness. The thematic distribution of the applications for distress relief is provided below. The coverage of application along various channels is as follows. The distribution shows a predominance of Tapal. However online applications from the public, applications through Akshaya centres and online applications from MP/MLA offices have registered a steady increase. The profile of medical cases covering 90.25% accident death cases 2.72 and other cases only 7.03. The social category wise distribution is SC 10.23% ST 1.05% and others 88.72%. The lower percentage of SC and ST is indeed a matter of concern, but is partly caused by competing schemes of the SC & ST Department for medical support and accidents. The profile clearly indicate that CMDRF has the potential to evolve as a smart social security plan for marginalized linked to welfare pensions. Transactions in CMDRF – channel-wise
