The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 10 Jun 2019The Nandan Nilekani panel gets it broadly right on deepening digital payments. Its suggestions such as a government subsidy for the merchant discount rate and a 15-basis-point cut in the interchange fee for use of banks’ ATM networks by customers of other banks make sense. There is scope to lower each of the three elements of the cost — the fee collected by the card-issuing bank, the fee collected by the payment network, and the fee charged by the bank that places the card-swipe machine at the shop and settles the payment. Tax incentives for digital payments is a way of compensating the merchant for the costs of digital transactions. Ultimately, what will lower the cost to the merchant of digital payments is a combination of competition from the payment networks and sharing with consumers the cost savings from reduced cash handling for the merchant, the banks and RBI.
