While trying to counter the National Payments Commission of India’s (NPCI) strength, tech monsters, for example, Google, Facebook and Amazon are supposedly tying up with Indian organizations to set up an opponent against NPCI.
Google and Facebook are said to have moved toward Reliance Jio, while Amazon is as yet investigating choices.
This comes after NPCI in its notice said that from January 2021 onwards, there would be a 30% cap on the absolute volume of UPI exchanges through outsider application suppliers (TPAPs). As per the notice, existing TPAPs will get two years, beginning in January 2021, to agree to the new standards in a staged way. Be that as it may, for the new contestants in the computerized installments scene, outstanding among them being WhatsApp Pay, the 30% cap will be material from January 2021.

Google Pay and PhonePe, while criticised the NPCI’s decision, said the move would hinder the nation’s burgeoning digital payments economy.
As indicated by October 2020 figures, Flipkart-claimed PhonePe has a 42% piece of the pie as far as the absolute volume of UPI exchanges, trailed by Google Pay at 41%. The leftover offer is dispersed among Paytm and Mobikwik.
In the interim, the organizations and new businesses are wanting to apply for another umbrella element (NUE) licenses, which will permit them to set up their own skillet India retail installment organization.
As of now, this space is consumed by the NPCI which was set up by the RBI and the Indian Banks Association (IBA) in 2008 as a non-benefit element. Its contributions incorporate UPI, NFS, Aadhar-empowered Payment System and IMPS. Actually, the NUE can be ‘for benefit’.
“A stake in the NUE gives them a seat at the table with controllers and banks in settling on every day administration and activities related choices of advanced installments,” an individual engaged with the conversations said.
