The initiative is also aimed at encouraging customers to digitally transact in places where internet connectivity is lacking. Rbi said in a statement on developmental and regulatory policies that the central bank has been encouraging units to develop offline payment solutions. That is why the Pilot Scheme proposes to allow small amount of payments with small payment features through offline, taking into account the interests of users, liability security, etc.
The central bank also said that the Payment System Operator (PSO) will have to implement online dispute resolution (ODR). Controversies and complaints have also increased as digital transactions grow. This system of redressal of grievances will be rule-based and transparent. There will be no human intervention or even if there is very little.
