RBI grants In-Principle approval to 11 payment banks applicants
PrintThe Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday granted in-principle approval to 11 payment banks applicants under the Guidelines for Licensing of Payments Banks.
RBI had received 41 applications for payments banks. The central bank has approved applications of Aditya Birla Nuvo Limited, Airtel M Commerce Services Limited, Cholamandalam Distribution Services Limited, Department of Posts, Fino PayTech Limited, National Securities Depository Limited, Reliance Industries Limited, Tech Mahindra Limited, Vodafone m-pesa Limited among others.
A payments bank differs from conventional banks as it cannot lend to its customers. It is allowed to take deposits, allow remittances and provide simple financial products. The payments bank will need to invest 75 percent of its funds in government securities. The minimum capital needed to set up a payments bank is set at Rs 100 crore. The bank will be allowed to accept savings deposits of up to Rs 1 lakh from each customer.
RBI's “in-principle” nod will be valid for a period of 18 months, during which time the applicants have to comply with the requirements under the Guidelines and fulfill the other conditions as may be stipulated by the central bank.
