RBI should keep watch of India’s cashless tryst

Live Mint  

Cash is not obsolete. After a long phase of beta testing, WhatsApp’s payment feature was given a go-ahead last week by the National Payments Corp of India. The Facebook-owned chat platform must keep users of its new service under 20 million for now, though it has an overall domestic user base of some 400 million, many of them riveted to it. Its web sprawl could grant it an edge over India’s two main payment apps, Google Pay and Walmart’s PhonePe, each of which has an estimated 40% slice of a pie that can expand exponentially. These apps can transfer money among themselves, thanks to NPCI’s Unified Payments Interface, an enabler of inter-bank transfers.
