Scope

• In a move to promote digital payments, the government abolished the merchant service fee on payment transactions made using RuPay cards and UPI effective from January 1, 2020. In addition, all businesses with annual turnover of more than INR500m ($7.01m) must provide their customers with the option to pay electronically via RuPay debit cards and UPI QR codes. These moves are expected to boost payments via domestic real-time payment system UPI at merchant locations, along with RuPay debit cards.

• There is also a growing preference for alternative payment solutions such as Paytm, Google Pay, Visa Checkout, Amazon Pay, PayPal, and Masterpass in India. Google Pay has been one of the beneficiaries of growing digitalization, accounting for a 9.3% share of total e-commerce payments - a significant jump from 3.5% in 2019. It is gradually catching up with Amazon Pay, the leading alternative payment solution, which holds a 11.3% share.

• Buy now pay later is gradually gaining traction in the Indian payment market, with an increasing number of merchants, banks, and payment providers now offering this service. In January 2017, Flipkart introduced an option that allows customers to purchase goods up to a total value of INR10,000 ($140.27), which can be repaid at the end of the credit cycle without any charge. International companies are also planning to enter the market. In August 2020, US-based buy now pay later provider Sezzle announced it will launch in India by the end of 2020.
