Overview of India Payment Service Market

The total market size for the India Payment service market has raised from INR ~ trillion in FY’16 to INR ~ trillion in FY21, during the review period.

and UPI, especially for retail transactions has helped consumers with

The India Payment Service Market is expected to

driven by multiple factors such as the launch of new and innovative payment
products, increase demand for cashless transaction due to Covid19, increasing

invisible payments, etc.
Reserve Bank of India
The PSS Act along with the Payment and Settlement System Regulations, 2008 underlines the role of RBI as the sole regulator to oversee the payments market and no other person or entity can operate a payment system in India unless authorized by RBI.

India
