Here's why WhatsApp is yet to start its payment service in India.
One big area of concern around WhatsApp Payments relates to allowing a Facebook group company into the Indian payments ecosystem.
“...even if there is no letter, let them be satisfied and say that everything is fine and give the approval. That is where we stand,” said the official. “We have told (WhatsApp) very clearly that the ball is in the court of NPCI and RBI.”
WhatsApp needs to consult with banks, NPCI and RBI to resolve the matter since the ministry is not the authorising entity for this particular launch, he said. AlthoughNPCI has the final say on UPI-based applications, it has become difficult for the umbrella body for retail digital payments in India to green-light the full rollout of WhatsApp Payments without addressing the ministry’s concerns, said people familiar with the developments.
