India's DPI to Expand Credit Access to Millions
India is using its digital tools, like Aadhaar, UPI, and others, to help more people get loans.
A recent report says that these tools have made it easier for people to apply for and manage loans.
It also reduced the costs for banks.
Fintech companies are providing many of these loans.
Millions of people are already using these systems for debt collection.
The goal is to let 450 million people, who don't usually get loans, have access to them.
It involves easier, faster, and safer ways to get money.
India aims to leverage Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) to provide credit access.
The target is to reach 450 million untapped borrowers.
Fintech NBFCs account for 74% of personal loan volumes in FY24-25.
Aadhaar-based e-KYC has reduced onboarding costs.
UPI enables large volumes of debt collections and EMI payments monthly.
