RuPay Credit Card and UPI Transaction Regulation
In a circular, NPCI has instructed the banks to ensure that the rewards points, benefits, and features offered for RuPay credit cards on UPI transactions are at least equal to those offered for normal card transactions. This rule appears to regulate the remunerations and incentives by making them equal regardless of the type of transaction in question, and it will come into force on the 1st of September in the year 2024.
TRAI's Anti-Spam Measures
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is going to implement new regulation to fight against spam and phishing. From September 1, telecom operators will have to get themselves registered, and their numbers will have to be whitelisted in order to send OTPs and other messages. This new system will also check messages for links that may be a result of the OTP, and this will slow down the delivery of OTPs. The headers and templates of banks and app-based services are required to register by August 31, in order to meet the compliance.
Free Aadhaar Updates Extended
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has further extended the free Aadhaar document update services till 14th September 2024. This extension enables the Aadhaar holders to correct their demographic data free of cost. Aadhaar details should be updated in order to ensure that the Aadhaar number is linked with banking facilities, governmental schemes and mobile numbers. Go to My Aadhaar portal on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in and then login after entering your Aadhaar number and an OTP from your registered mobile number. After that, you can choose update Aadhaar option, and then you are good to go.
