What issues are affecting this system?
There are complaints about transaction failure in this payment system. Thereafter, the government has taken several steps to reduce the number of transaction failures.
How to check failed transactions?
National Payments Corporation of India (NCPI) has a 24*7 technical support system with a networked team. These people help the banks in case of transaction failure and keep an eye on such cases. NPCI takes up the issue with the bank management in case of transactions above Rs 1 lakh in a day.
A technical task force has been created for all online products to help banks in minimizing transaction failures. In addition, the government also conducts periodic reviews to prevent the failure of AEPS transactions.
RBI also intervened
RBI said that in order to strengthen the business correspondence ecosystem, it has laid down a roadmap for the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) to create a business correspondence registry portal. Banks have the option to blacklist the business correspondence on the portal if any fraud or otherwise occurs. This information has been made available to all stakeholders. The details of all business correspondence that has been blocked or blacklisted are included by NPCI and circulated to all member banks from time to time for the benefit of the business correspondence ecosystem.
