Digital Payment Push
Earlier this year, government removed all duties on devices used in the process of cashless
transactions like point of sales machines, finger print readers etc.It also exempted components
from taxes to encourage domestic manufacturing of these devices.Increasingly, POS terminals
are web-enabled, which makes remote training and operation possible, as well as inventory
tracking across geographically-dispersed locations.
India is headed for an exponential increase in digital payments over the next
four years. The digital payments industry in Asia’s third-largest economy will
grow by 10 times to touch $500 billion by 2020 and contribute 15% of gross
domestic product (GDP), a Google-BCG report predicted.Online fintech and
payments space will witness more such collaborations ahead.
