The FinTech sector has grown rapidly in last few years and is on track of ever evolving track. Prior to 2008 financial crisis, the traditional banking sector was the only playground available for financial needs. The financial crisis collapsed the traditional banking & financial mechanism and paved the way for more secure and updated financial transaction which led to emergence of FinTech, which has altered the economic viability of traditional banking sector participants to originate loans, translating into contraction of the credit supply for individuals and SMEs.
Today, financial markets & services are flooded with technology driven innovation, whereby new non-depository institutions- referred to as peer-to-peer financing, loan based crowdfunding platform, marketplace lenders (MPL) - providing loans of various types and duration to end users through online and mobile channels. Some of these companies lend from their own corpus/balancesheet, while some serve as brokers between investors and borrowers, commonly referred to as “Platform Lenders”.
Payments has been the frontrunner in the large scale consumer adoption of Fintech in India, aided by the spread of smartphones and mobile internet at affordable price points. Most FinTech players started out by identifying a niche/use case for building a customer base ( e.g. Paytm for online payments, Ola Money for cab payments, Airtel Money for phone bills etc.) and then expanding onto other services.
Indian regulatory authorities including RBI, SEBI & IRDA have adopted an accommodative stance towards an emerging Fintech sector without bringing in prohibitive guidelines to over regulate the sector. Despite catching up with the rapidly evolving eco system, Indian regulators have adopted a consultative approach and have been proactively foreseeing the need for adequate regulations, especially in the areas concerning public funds i.e. peer-to-peer lending, crowd funding and alternative currencies.

Like the rest of the financial services industry, insurers are subject to increasingly complex and prescriptive regulations and standards. In the year ahead, insurers will need to focus on the new U.S.Department of Labor fiduciary standard, which is likely to have a significant effect on how insurance products are sold. Moreover, global developments, especially those related to the developing International Capital Standard, will require insurers to closely monitor – and ideally contribute to – official discussions about how globally active insurers should manage capital

2. Financial services contribute to economic growth and development by
facilitating banking, investment, savings, insurance, stock markets, debt, and
equity shares. These services help private entities and individuals save funds,
compete in the market, and protect against risks and ambiguity. They also
contribute to the GDP and promote liquidity. Financial services generate
employment, reduce the cost of transactions and borrowing, and minimise
asymmetric information.
International Financial Services Centres (IFSCs), on the other hand, cater to
customers outside the jurisdiction of the domestic economy. They deal with
flows of finance, financial products, and services across borders. IFSCs
provide a platform for world-class financial services to non-residents and
residents in a currency other than the domestic currency of the location
where the IFSC is located.
3. They attract overseas investors by providing financial services that are
currently being carried out outside India by overseas financial
institutions. IFSCs encourage all major global players to operate in such
facilities, which in turn facilitates a two-way flow of finance, financial
products, financial services, etc.
Recent Developments Shaping Financial Services Today
In today's rapidly evolving financial landscape, change is not just a
constant; it's a necessity. Financial institutions are navigating a dynamic
environment shaped by emerging technologies, shifting customer
expectations, and global trends. Let's delve into the transformative
forces currently reshaping the financial sector.
4. • Digital Transformation on the Cloud: Financial institutions are
increasingly moving their operations to the cloud for better scalability,
flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
• Better User Experience: Institutions are focusing on improving the
user experience to retain customers and attract new ones. This includes
everything from user-friendly interfaces to personalised services.
• Industry Consolidation: Mergers and acquisitions are becoming
more common as institutions seek to expand their offerings and reach.
• Data-Driven Approach: Financial services are leveraging big data
and analytics to make informed decisions, understand customer
behaviour, and offer personalised services.
5. • Scaling and Real-Time Processing: Institutions are investing in
technologies that allow for real-time processing of transactions and other
financial activities.
• ESG Practices: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices
are becoming a focus area for financial institutions. They're considering ESG
factors in their investment decisions and business practices.
• Embedded Finance: This trend involves non-financial firms offering
financial products or services directly to their customers. It's becoming
increasingly popular as companies seek to provide more value to their
customers.
Key Updates and Trends Currently Impacting the IFSC
6. Now, let’s take a look at some key updates and trends currently impacting the
International Financial Services Centre (IFSC):
• Tax Amendments: The Finance Bill, 2023 has proposed several
amendments related to the IFSC. These include:
o Increasing the tax rate applicable on royalty and fees for technical services
in the case of non-resident taxpayers who do not have a Permanent
Establishment (PE) in India to 20%.
o Providing an exemption on certain incomes arising to non-residents or
aircraft leasing entities from aircraft leasing business in the IFSC.
7. o Offering a concessional tax rate on dividends issued by the IFSC unit to its
non-resident shareholders.
o Offering a concessional tax rate on interest earned on long-term bonds or
rupee-denominated bonds listed only on the IFSC stock exchanges.
• Extended Time for Tax-Neutral Relocation: The Budget 2023 proposes
to extend the time for tax-neutral relocation of funds from overseas
jurisdictions into GIFT IFSC from March 31, 2023, by another two years. This
will give more time to asset managers who recently got permission to work
in GIFT IFSC or are in the process. They can now think about starting brand
new funds or moving their existing ones there.
8. Non-Applicability of Surcharge and Cess: There is a proposal for the non-
applicability of surcharge and cess on certain incomes earned by specified
funds in the International Financial Service Centre (IFSC).
Navigating the Financial Services Institutions Landscape as an Entity
Navigating the landscape of financial services institutions can be complex, but
here are some strategies that can help. Consider these six core principles and
you should be good to go.
1. Stay Informed: Keep yourself updated about the latest trends and
developments in the financial services industry. This could be through news
updates, financial blogs (like the one you’re reading right now), podcasts, or
newsletters.
9. 2. Understand Regulatory Changes: Financial institutions operate in a
heavily regulated environment. Understanding these regulations and how
they impact financial services is crucial. This could involve staying updated
on regulatory changes and understanding their implications.
3. Leverage Technology: Many financial institutions are undergoing digital
transformations. Understanding these technologies and how to leverage
them can provide a competitive edge.
4. Network: Building relationships with professionals in the industry can
provide valuable insights and opportunities. This might mean going to
industry gatherings, becoming a part of professional groups, or engaging in
discussions on the internet.
10. 5. Seek Expert Advice: If you're unsure about certain aspects of the financial
services landscape, don't hesitate to seek advice from experts. This could be
financial advisors, industry analysts, or experienced colleagues.
6. Customer Focus: Always keep the customer at the centre of your strategy.
Understand their needs and preferences and how they are changing.
What Regulatory Changes Are Currently Influencing the Finance Industry?
A host of regulatory changes are reshaping the finance industry. Let’s discuss the
key regulatory changes that are currently influencing the finance industry.
Increased Supervision and Enforcement: Regulatory agencies in 2023 will
continue executing their broad and
11. ambitious agendas. Anticipate more attention on supervision, rule enforcement,
and inquiries, both with existing and new regulations.
• Climate and Sustainability: Social and political discord, risk management,
governance, scenario/stress test analysis, and investment/strategic markets
are all areas of focus.
• Transparency and Reporting: There is an increased focus on reporting,
market structure, protections, and controls.
• Data and Cybersecurity: Cyber risk management and governance, data
collection, and privacy are key areas of concern.
12. Technology and Resiliency: Modern technology risk management,
technology resiliency, and operation resiliency are becoming increasingly
important.
• Credit and Capital: Capital shifts, credit risk sizing and concentration, and
effective compliance are areas of focus.
• Fairness and Inclusion: Expanded "fairness", impact and "justice", human
capital, and DEI are becoming increasingly important.
• Fraud and Financial Crime: Regulatory focus, interplay with consumer
protection, and evolving risks are key areas of concern.
13. • Payments and Crypto: Regulatory authority and guardrails, instant payments
and controls, disputes, complaints, and claims are all areas of focus.
• Fintech Regulations: By mid-2023, providers will face harsher regulatory
procedures. The new directives will necessitate Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)
providers carrying out in-depth credit checks on consumers to ensure that they
can afford to take out loans.
What Does the Future Hold for the Finance Industry, and How Can We Adapt?
The future of the finance industry is expected to be shaped by several key trends.
Let’s explore the key priorities and strategies that are shaping the industry.
14. • Finance Transformation: Finance leaders are prioritising leading finance
transformation, finance technology, and human-centric work. They are
focusing on initiatives that matter, such as transforming to deliver real-time
and predictive insights, effortless compliance, and greater flexibility in
finance strategy.
• Data and Analytics Strategy: By 2025, 50% of FP&A leaders will have
enterprise-wide data strategy as a key responsibility. Financial leaders need
to play a bigger part in overseeing data and analytics (D&A) within their
organisations and improve their grasp of the fundamental D&A principles.
• Align Spend to Growth: CFOs must add “capital activism” to their more
traditional attempts to streamline capital
15. allocation processes. Capital activism takes postures embraced by the most
productive activist investors and private equity firms and applies them to the
internal management of capital through CFOs and their teams.
• Digital Transformation: The convergence of customer demands,
technological advances, and government choices will significantly impact the
direction of financial industry market trends.
Conclusion
Understanding the latest trends, regulatory changes, and developments in
financial services and International Financial Services Centres (IFSCs) can lead
to better decision-making,
16. effective risk management, and the identification of new opportunities
for growth. It also ensures regulatory compliance and aids in effective
financial planning. As the financial landscape continues to evolve, being
well-informed will provide a competitive edge, helping individuals and
businesses alike navigate through complexities and thrive in the face of
change.
