Reading Passage
According to NITI Aayog, India has a technological advantage to facilitate digital banks. There is a need for creating a regulatory framework for promoting this. NITI Aayog in its report, A Proposal for Licensing and Regulatory Regime for Digital Banks, has presented a roadmap for the country’s digital banking licensing and regulatory system. India’s public digital infrastructure, especially Unified Payments Interface (UPI), has successfully faced this challenge. With Aadhaar, India is at the cusp of operationalizing its own open banking framework. This demonstrates that India has the technology stock to fully facilitate digital banks. Digital banking allows a user to set up automatic payments for regular utility bills. Digital banking enables fund transfers to reduce the risk of counterfeit currency. By promoting a cashless society, digital banking restricts the circulation of black money.
