The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) emphasized on Friday that banks must make IT system investments to stay up with the nation’s rapid increase in digital payments.
Banks need to spend enough on IT. Not that banks aren’t, mind you. In essence, as business expands, IT systems, their capacity, and the infrastructure as a whole must also develop. The RBI does not dictate to banks or other regulated businesses how much money they must spend on IT infrastructure.
The RBI is encouraging the usage of UPI Lite to lessen the burden on banks. Reducing the strain on bank systems is the aim of the UPI Lite wallet. Thus, UPI Lite is gaining traction bit by bit. The monthly volume of UPI Lite transactions is approximately 10 million, and as that figure rises, the strain on bank systems will diminish.
With UPI Lite, users can send and receive up to Rs 500 using an on-device wallet without a UPI PIN. It makes low-value transactions possible in real-time without requiring the use of a remitter bank’s basic banking services.
