Lauding the fintechs for democratising <keyword id="19976433" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="financial-services" source="keywords">financial services</keyword>, Modi said the sector, which has attracted USD 31-billion investment in the last 10 years, has played a key role in denting the parallel economy. The Prime Minister was addressing the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2024, jointly organised by the Payments Council of India, the National Payments Corporation of India and the Fintech Convergence Council. He said the domestic economy and the capital market are in a celebratory mood at a time when the nation is also going through a festive period. Modi underlined that the government is making all necessary changes on the policy level to assist the fintech sector and gave examples of doing away with Angel Tax, allocating Rs 1 lakh crore to encourage research and innovation in the country and implementing the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Broadly, fintech refers to entities utilising technologies for providing financial services. Expressing the need to put an end to <keyword id="19901142" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cyber-fraud" source="keywords">cyber fraud</keyword>, he urged the regulators to take major initiatives to boost digital literacy. It is equally important to ensure cyber fraud does not come in the way of the growth of fintech and startups in the country, Modi said. In his speech, the Prime Minister also cautioned about the dangers of a parallel economy for the world. Fintech, he said, has played an impactful role in denting such a system and credited the emergence of transparency. He said that digital technology has introduced transparency in India and gave the example of the implementation of Direct Benefit Transfer used in hundreds of government schemes that has prevented leakages in the system. "Today, people can see the benefits of aligning with the formal banking system," he said. Modi further said the trinity of Jan Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile have broken down the mentality of 'Cash is King' and made way for approximately half of the <keyword id="20004116" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="digital-transactions" source="keywords">digital transactions</keyword> in the world taking place in India. "India's <keyword id="19900911" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="upi" source="keywords">UPI</keyword> has become a major example of fintech in the world," he said, adding that it has enabled 24X7 banking services in every village and city in all weather conditions. Underlining the role of fintech in democratising financial services, the Prime Minister gave examples of readily available loans, credit cards, investments and insurance. He said that fintech has made access to credit easy and inclusive, and gave the example of PM SVANidhi scheme that has enabled street vendors to avail collateral-free loans and further expand their business with the help of digital transactions. "Sustainable <keyword id="19900794" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="economic-growth" source="keywords">economic growth</keyword> is India's priority today," he said and emphasised that the government is creating robust, transparent and efficient systems to strengthen financial markets with advanced technologies and regulatory frameworks. About 800 speakers, including policymakers, regulators, senior bankers, industry captains, and academicians, from India and other countries are participating in the fest.

Removed Angel Tax, taking policy measures to promote fintech sector: PM Modi

Mumbai, Jun 19 () Small Industries Development Bank of India (Sidbi) on Friday said it has signed a pact with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs for implementation of the PM Street Vendor's AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi). PM SVANidhi is a central scheme fully funded by the ministry with the objective to facilitate working capital loan to street vendors, thus enabling them to emerge self-reliant after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and revive their livelihood activity through formal access to credit. Sidbi will be the implementation partner for the scheme and will set up a project management unit, a release said. It will give access to the scheme through a customised digital platform and will integrate the institutional ecosystem and build capacity value chain. The development finance institution will facilitate credit guarantee to lending institutions through Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE). Microfinance institutions (MFIs) shall be on-boarded on the CGTMSE platform for the first time for the scheme, Sidbi said. The platform shall also be integrated with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to enable the processes envisaged in the scheme, it said. "We are pleased to play a role in this important national endeavour to help millions of street vendors across the country whose livelihood activities have been disrupted due to the coronavirus outbreak. "We shall carry out deep engagement with the entire lending community and urge them to actively participate to make this scheme a success," Sidbi Chairman and Managing Director Mohammad Mustafa said. The scheme includes an initial working capital of up to Rs 10,000, interest subsidy on timely/early repayment at the rate of 7 per cent, monthly cashback incentive on digital transactions and higher loan eligibility on timely repayment of the first loan. Under this scheme, commercial banks, regional rural banks, small finance banks, co-operative banks, non-banking financial companies, MFIs and self-help groups will be able to provide credit. This scheme will target street vendors/hawkers vending in urban areas, as on or before March 24, 2020, including the vendors of surrounding peri-urban and rural areas. HV HRS

Thank yo… https://t.co/ttnGDRDeDo" createdat="1674306941000" id="1616786613979459585"></div>Fintech giant Paytm’s Founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma also responded to PM Modi’s tweet, saying, “Absolutely Sir! Pride of our India is acceptance and embracing technology by every citizen in country. Thank you for championing and guiding the change.” Paytm has played a significant role in increasing the popularity and accessibility of digital payments in the country. The company's efforts to expand its reach by partnering with small businesses and vendors, such as the roadside tailor in the image shared by PM Modi, have further contributed to the increased adoption of digital payments in India. The user who posted the picture revealed that it was taken in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad. “You have to be in Bharat to understand the scale of this transformation brought about by the policies of PM <keyword id="6354477" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="Orion">Narendra Modi</keyword> government", the user captioned the image. One of the key initiatives of the Modi government has been the promotion of <keyword id="1399736" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="digital-payment" source="Orion">digital payment</keyword>s through the Digital India programme. The Centre has placed a high priority on extending digital payment services to every segment of the population. In line with this objective, the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Modi, recently announced an increase in the allocation for the promotion of RuPay debit cards and low-value UPI payments to ₹2,600 crore for FY23. This is a significant increase from the initial allocation of ₹1,300 crore, which was announced in the Budget for FY22. The move is part of the government's ongoing efforts to promote digital payments across the country and bring about a digital transformation in India. “Under the said scheme, acquiring banks will be provided financial incentive for promoting point-of-sale (PoS) and e-commerce transactions using RuPay debit cards and low-value BHIM-UPI transactions (person-to-merchant) for the current financial year,” the Ministry of Electronics &amp; IT said. Brokerage firms Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have said that Paytm will be a key beneficiary of this incentive scheme. India's leading digital payments and financial services company, Paytm, has played a crucial role in the advancement of the Indian government's vision of a cashless economy. The company has pioneered the use of QR codes for mobile payments and has made digital transactions accessible to all. Digital payments have played a crucial role in maintaining business continuity during the pandemic, particularly for small merchants, and promoting social distancing. In December 2022, UPI achieved a record of 7.82 billion digital payment transactions with a value of ₹12.82 lakh crore. Last week, PM Modi also initiated the transfer of approved loans of over one lakh beneficiaries under PM SVAnidhi Yojana, a special micro-credit facility for street vendors. He lauded the fact that the scheme’s beneficiaries have done digital transactions with ₹50,000 crore in a short span of time. “This feat and change is a big answer to the pessimists, who used to question the success of digital payments by street vendors,” PM Modi said. Paytm has been helping in deepening financial inclusion by onboarding street vendors under the PM SVANidhi scheme and helping them to accept digital payments. In 2021- 22, the company onboarded more than 35,000 Street vendors under PM SVANidhi scheme. The PM added that the SVANidhi Yojana is not just a scheme to give loans, but it is a campaign to boost the economic power of our fellow street vendors by empowering them to accept digital payments. Paytm’s work in supporting the government's efforts aligns with its mission to bring half a billion Indians into the mainstream economy through the use of digital payments and financial services. By pioneering the use of QR codes for mobile payments, Paytm has helped to remove barriers for individuals and small businesses, particularly street vendors, to access financial services and conduct digital transactions. Additionally, Paytm's active participation in the PM SVANidhi Yojana by onboarding street vendors and helping them accept digital payments has enabled them to participate fully in the digital economy.

The video-streaming platform told the <keyword id="53556" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="New-York-Times">New York Times</keyword> it removed the channels for breaking its community guidelines but it didn't explain the decision any further. According to an Engadget report, among the removed channels were ones for Myanmar Radio and Television and Myawaddy Media, which air news, sports and Tatmadaw propaganda. Dozens of peaceful protestors were killed this week during demonstrations against last month's coup, the report said. Protesters have organized rallies online and shared footage of violence carried out by the military and police. The Tatmadaw responded by blocking social media services and occasionally shutting down internet access entirely.
