RBI Establishes Payments Regulatory Board for Oversight
Imagine a special team, like a referee, for how money moves around in India.
The Reserve Bank of India, which is like the country's money manager, has created this team called the Payments Regulatory Board.
This board has six members, and the boss of the RBI is in charge.
Their job is to watch over all the systems that handle payments, making sure everything is fair and safe.
They are replacing an old team that did a similar job, but the new team will have some people picked by the government involved too.
This helps keep an eye on how money moves around in the country.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has notified a new Payments Regulatory Board (PRB).
The PRB consists of six members and will oversee payment systems.
The RBI Governor will head the new board.
The board is supported by the RBI's department of payment and settlement systems.
The PRB replaces an earlier board, with the new board including government nominees.
