NPCI stepping in to stop AePS frauds, suggests ways to banks

The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) wants companies offering Aadhaar-enabled Payment System (AePS) to bring in additional security measures to check rising incidents of fraud attacks on the network. In a notification issued to all banks and payment companies offering this service on October 26, NPCI wrote that just like mandatory security features on debit cards, banks need to introduce mandatory security norms for AePS transactions.

How An Aadhaar Fraud Forces The Poor Into Paying For Welfare Schemes They Do Not Want

Across India, banks are enrolling account-holders in social security schemes without their assent. Kiosk operators or banks’ business correspondents deceitfully obtain customers’ fingerprints for authentication via the Aadhaar-enabled Payment System, thus imposing the Narendra Modi government’s welfare schemes on the rural poor. Kiosk operators allege that banks pressurise them to enrol customers, by hook or crook, in the government’s life insurance, accident insurance and pension schemes.

After a decade of #AePS failures, #NPCI has finally put in place a (relatively simpler) way to logde #AePS grievances

Customers can now lodge #AePS complaints at https://www.npci.org.in/register-a-complaint

#CyberSafe now has access to NPCI data for #FASTag #NACH #AePS

So allegations that this directive by regulator (not government) making some technologies preferable is not grounded.

I agree though that there ought to be better transparent consultative process. MD of DPSC did not go through consultations and is silent on #AePS

#Cashlessconsumer In our letter, we also seek that #AePS and #UPI be included in the scope and similar 'default opt-out and choice based opt-in' introduced on these as well.

So #AePS has always been the default and only mode of transacting for the poor, especially in tier 3,4,5 areas.

#AePS is the only available payment system for poor, as debit card is precondition for ATM / UPI.
