The Government of India has recently set up a Committee to review the framework related to digital payments. The mandate of the Committee is to formulate and monitor the medium term measures for strengthening the ecosystem and to recommend appropriate methods for encouraging digital payments and submit its recommendations in three months. These include suggesting legislative and regulatory changes, if any, in the legislative/ regulatory mechanism under banking, IT, telecom, PML, taxation or any other law, for promoting digital payments. The agenda for this dialogue meeting is to have consultations for the committee with a cross section of stakeholders with an objective to understand their perspective on the medium term vision of promoting digital payments by moving to a less cash economy.
