RBI launches pilot scheme for Offline Retail Payments Using Cards and Mobile Devices The Reserve Bank of India has launched pilot scheme for small value payments in offline mode. The pilot scheme shall be undertaken till March 31, 2021 only. Under the scheme, authorised Payment System Operators (PSOs) – banks and non-banks – will be able to provide offline payment solutions using cards, wallets or mobile devices for remote or proximity payments. This has been done to do away with the impediments caused due to lack of internet connectivity or low speed of internet, especially in remote areas. Some major points related to this scheme are: Maximum limit of a payment transaction will be Rs 200. (For a single transaction.) The total limit for offline transactions on an instrument shall be Rs 2,000, at any point of time. Resetting of the limit shall be allowed in online mode with AFA. Payments could be made using cards, wallets or mobile devices or through any other channel. Payments may be made in remote or proximity mode. Reserve Bank of India to set up Innovation Hub for financial sector in India The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced that it is planning to set up an Innovation Hub in order to promote innovation across the finance sector in India by leveraging on technology. The Innovation Hub will be promoting, supporting, and hand-hold cross thinking spanning national boundaries and regulatory permits. It will act as a centre for ideation and incubation of new capabilities which can be leveraged to create viable and innovative financial products or services to help achieve the broader objectives of efficient banking services, deepening financial inclusion, strengthening consumer protection, business continuity in times of emergency. RBI permits banks to invest in debt instruments through mutual funds RBI has permitted banks to invest in debt instruments through mutual funds or exchange traded funds without allocating additional charges. As per RBI’s extant Basel III guidelines, if a bank holds a debt instrument directly, it would have to allocate lower capital as compared to holding the same debt instrument through a mutual fund- or exchange traded fund. It has been decided to harmonise the differential treatment existing currently. This will result in substantial capital savings for banks and is expected to give a boost to the corporate bond market.
