India's incentives for digital payment to benefit banks

Reduction in cost to income ratio over time is expected.

The Indian government stated that people making digital payments up to INR2000 will not have to pay service charges. It also announced incentive for digital payment for railway bookings and purchase of retail fuel and even announced a free insurance in some cases.

It will install two point of sale machines in all villages with population of less than 10,000.

Maybank KimEng comments that this is good for the banking sector as it will reduce their cost to income ratio over time.

The private banks with superior technology infrastructure will be the bigger beneficiary. Another set of beneficiary, it said, will be the small payment banks and banking correspondents.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
