Digital payments and consumer experience in India: a survey based empirical study
Journal of Banking and Financial Technology, 2021
Propelled by recent policy initiatives and technological developments, India's digital payment system is a promising success story in the making. At the same time, the data also points towards an increasing usage of cash. While aggregate country-level data can indicate overall preferences of citizens, we use a novel online survey-based dataset to understand how factors such as 'perception' and 'trust' in digital payments, and experience with online frauds, affect the payment behaviour of consumers. While demographic factors like age, gender and income are relevant factors which determine this choice, we find compelling evidence that a person's usage of digital payment methods is influenced by her perception of these instruments, as well as her trust in the overall payments framework and banking system in general. We find that the degree to which past-experience with online fraud deters usage of digital payments varies with the purpose of the transaction.

India's Digital Payment Landscape -An Analysis
Srinivas Publication, 2022
The Indian payments sector is undergoing far reaching changes, with digital payments capturing a sizable slice of the cake in recent years. The changes began from a fully cash economy to a less-paper-currency system. The Reserve Bank of India and its nodal agencies are working hard to make the digital India goal, a reality. Nearly one billion cards and more than two billion Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPI) such as online wallets, mobile applications, e-wallets, and digital payment modalities have pushed India into one of the world's fastest growing and largest digital payment ecosystem. In fact, an exponential increase in internet infrastructure boosted e-commerce. Unified Payment Interface, popularly known as UPI, is regarded as a revolutionary payment solution in the market for facilitating retail digital payments. The main objective of this paper is to identify innovations in India's digital payment landscape in a phased manner. While doing so, it also analyses the payment facilitating industry by applying PESTEL model to identify political, economic, technological, environmental and legal factors. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study examines India's digital payment landscape in terms of its gradual progress. Using the PESTEL model, it also analyses external factors that contribute to a less cash economy. Secondary sources were used to gather data for the study, which included reports, circulars, rules, and statements made by the Reserve Bank of India and other relevant organisations. Findings/Results: According to the study, India's digital payment segment has seen tremendous success since the implementation of UPI by the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) in 2016. The government's Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) programme enabled the country to achieve financial inclusion of all citizens having access to banking services. Government legislation, regulator intent, social behaviour, increased smartphone usage, lower internet costs, and others significantly impacted the growth of the digital payment industry by ensuring secure, faster, cost-effective, and secure payment solutions. Originality/Value: This study examines the digital payment industry in India using the PESTEL methodology, which allows us to see the industry from all sides.
Exploring Influencing Factors for M-payment Apps Uses in the Indian Context
Innovations in Information and Communication Technologies (IICT-2020)
Purpose This paper aims to understand the effect of enjoyment (ENJ), facilitating condition (FC), mobility (MOB), collaboration and trust in developing a positive attitude for Indian customers to use m-payment apps. Methodology The study proposed a new paradigm on the grounds of extended technology acceptance model (TAM). By using structural equation modeling (SEM), the frameworks were empirically examined on responses from 328 respondents. Findings-The empirical results indicate that five factors-collaboration, enjoyment, facilitating condition, mobility and trust, positively affect the consumer's attitude for using m-payment services. However, it has been found that the collaboration and trust construct have no direct impact on the attitude to use m-payment apps. Research limitations/implications-The study highlights the significance of these other variables that are critical when it comes to using m-payment apps to identify buyer behaviour. The study will, therefore, guide for all m-payment service providers to develop their services accordingly.
Exploring Digital Wallet Usage in the Indian Market
International Journal of Banking, Risk and Insurance, 2022
India is taking huge leaps towards digitalisation. The banking industry is at the forefront of this race. Many products like Unified Payments Interface (UPI) have been introduced to give impetus to digital payments. The aim of the study is to explore the actual usage of UPI payments in the Indian market, based on differences in personal traits of the consumers. The data was collected using a web-based questionnaire, from 253 respondents. Personal traits like age, gender, current place of residence, and occupation have been used as the input variables to study the actual usage of UPI payments. The results show that as the age of the respondents increased, there was a decrease in the actual usage of UPI. UPI payments are popular among students, but are less used by government employees, retired people, and housewives. UPI downtime and transaction security negatively impact usage of UPI payments.
