Payments Bank

Payments Bank is a new model of banks proposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).A payments bank is akin to any other bank, but operating on a smaller scale without involving any type of credit risk. In other words, it can carry in its own most banking operations but cannot provide loans or issue credit cards. Payments bank can accept demand deposits (up to ₹1 lakh), can offer remittance services, mobile payments/purchases/transfers/ and can provide other banking services like ATM/debit cards, net banking and third party fund transfers.

History:

The main aim of the committee was to suggest measures to achieve financial inclusion and increased access to financial services.
The committee submitted the report to RBI in January 2014. One of the main suggestions of the committee was to introduce specialised banks or ‘payments bank‘ to cater to the needs oflower income groups and small businesses.On 19 August 2015, the Reserve Bank of India gave “in-principle” approval to eleven entities to launch payments banks in India.
