EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The payments landscape in India is undergoing a transformation: traditionally a cash Based economy, it has
seen an increase in card-based and mobile transaction.

In spite of advances made in the recent years by the Government and regulators to Popularize cashless
transactions, India continues to be a high-cash-usage economy. The value of physical currency in circulation
in the country is one of the highest among Other emerging economies.

In spite of being present in the country for over two decades, card payments have Struggled to scale-up due to
the fragmented nature of the retail sector -perception of it Being expensive for small merchants, high cost of
card payments hardware and lack of Underwriting data for credit card issuance and merchant on boarding.

In such a scenario as a platform has a unique set of capabilities that can overcome the challenges posed by the
Indian payment landscape.

The aim of this project is to find out presentation of E-wallet in India, major factors effecting E-wallet usage
and what are the reasons for which people thought being aware of E-wallet don’t use it by this project I seek
to explore the future scope, present scenario and the factors affecting the e-wallets uses.

The recent growth of e-commerce and the consumer’s increasing interest in purchasing Over the net have
significantly changed the landscape of Indian retail market. Today customers are inclined to accept the changes
and keep their eye on the benefits they can obtain from online retailers. The recent example of changing
consumer purchase pattern is the flipkart’s ‘Big Billion Day’ Sale. The growth in online sales can be partially
attributed to the internet’s advantages of providing large amount of information quickly and inexpensively and
its growing accessibility. Yet, to reach its full potential business owners who use ecommerce as a distribution

E-COMMERCE

Electronic commerce or E-commerce is a term for any type of business or commercial transaction that
involves the transfer of information across the internet .it covers a range of different types of businesses, from
consumer-based retail sites, through auction or music sites, to businesses exchanges trading goods and services
between corporation. It is currently one of the most important aspects of the internet to emerge.

E-commerce allows consumers to electronically exchange goods and services with no barriers of time or
distance. Electronic commerce has expanded rapidly over the past five years and is predicted to continue at
this rate, or even accelerate. In the near future the boundaries between “CONVENTIONAL” and
ELECTRONIC” commerce will became increasingly blurred as more and more businesses move section of
their operation onto internet.

Emerged in the early 1990s today its use has increased at a rapid rate. Today, the majority of companies have
an online presence. In fact, the ability to conduct business through the internet has become a necessity.
Everything from food and clothes to entertainment and furniture can be purchased online

This sector classified into four major types, based on the parties involved in the transaction business-to-
business (B2B), Business-to-consumer(B2C), Customer-to-business(C2B), And customer-to-customer (C2C).

According to a study conducted by the internet and mobile Association of India, the Ecommerce sector is
estimated to reach ₹211,005 crore by December 2016. By 2020,India is expected to generate $100 billion
online retail revenue out of which $35 billion will be through fashion E-commerce. Online apparel sales are
set to grow four times in coming years. However, B2B’s acceptance is on an upward trend due to its rising
awareness amongst small and medium enterprise (SMEs), which are closed to 13 million in number.

In India E-commerce is growing at a very rapid pace. India had an internet user base of about 354million as
of June 2015 and is expected to cross 500 million in 2017 and by 8% in 2020. Despite being the second-largest
user base in world, only behind China (650million, 48% of population), the penetration of e-commerce is low
compared to markets like the United States (266million, 84%of population), or France (54million, 81
%population), but is growing at an unprecedented rate, adding around 6 million new entrances every month.
The industry consensus is that growth is at an inflection point.

The trend of online shopping is set to see greater heights in coming years, not just because of India’s rising
internet population, but also due to changes in the supporting ecosystem. Players have made intensive efforts
to upgrade areas such as logistics and the payment infrastructure. Furthermore, the Indian consumer’s
perception of online shopping has undergone a drastic change, and only for good. Given these developments,
venture capital investors, who were restricting themselves to the side lines, are now taking a keen interest in
the country’s E-commerce market.

To capitalise on the benefits offered by the unique Indian consumer base. E-commerce companies have been
innovating with the policies traditionally not available in a brick-and-mortar store. Companies have introduced
return policies ranging from 7-30 days, free home delivery and the most recent “cash on delivery” model. The
last innovation has led to a lot of momentum in internet sales and changed people’s perception towards online
shopping as shoppers can now purchase without disclosing their credit/debit card details.

It is believed that more than 50% of all online transaction in India are based on the cash on delivery (COD)
payment methodology. As Indian consumers are showing increased interest towards the COD mode of
payment, companies are investing to resolve issues such as refusal to pay cash, rising inventories and managing
returns in order to provide this facility without hassles.

Key drivers in Indian e-commerce

1) Large percentage of population subscribed to broadband internet, burgeoning 3G internet users, and a
recent introduction of 4G across the country.

2) Explosive growth of smartphone users, soon to be world’s second largest smartphone user base.

3) Rising standards of living as result of fast decline in poverty rate.

4) Availability of much wider product range (including long tail and direct imports) Compared to what is
available at brick-and-mortar retailers.

5) Competitive prices compared to brick-and-mortar retail driven by disintermediation and reduced


inventory and real estate’s costs.

6) Increased usage of online classified sites, with more consumer buying and selling second-hand goods

7) Evolution of million-dollar start-ups like Jabong.com, MakeMyTrip, bookmyshow Zomato voonik etc.

M-commerce

The phrase mobile commerce was originally coined in 1997 by Kevin Duffey at the launch of the Global
mobile commerce forum, to mean “the delivery of electronic commerce capabilities directly into the
consumer’s hand, anywhere, via wireless technology. Many choose to think of mobile commerce as
meaning” a retail outlet in your customer’s pocket.”

M-commerce means exchange of goods over the internet by the use of mobile phones or M-commerce, is
about the explosion of application and services that are becoming accessible from Internet-enabled mobile
devices. They follow you wherever you go, making it possible to look for a nearby restaurant, stay in touch
with colleagues, or pay for items at a store. As the internet finds its way into our purses or shirt pocket, the
devices we use to access it are becoming more personal too. Already today, mobile phones know the phone
number of our friends and colleagues. They are starting to track our location. Tomorrow, they will replace
our wallet and credit cards. One day, they may very well turn into intelligent assistants capable of
anticipating many of our wishes and needs, such as automatically arranging for taxies to come and pickup
after business meetings or providing us with summaries of relevant news and massages left by colleagues.

MOBILE WALLET:

The term payments are as old as human civilization, since then the payment industry has undergone a drastic
transition from barter system to virtual payment (mobile wallets). Barter system as age old method of exchange
which has been used for centuries long before money was invented, people exchanged goods and services for
other goods and services in return. The trading system expanded its boundaries towards exchanging precious
metals like copper, bronze gold etc with the advent of the industrial revolution in the 18th century, banking
system was adopted as standard payment and as a monetary regulating body. This led to the development of
other modes like loans, savings a/c withdrawals etc. after the success of banking system, our cash-based society
evolved through internet, this led to building up of various electronic payment system like Debit card credit
card E-cheques and is now pushing into digital frontier of virtual wallet (mobile platform). MOBILE
TECHNOLOGY has paved a way through which people and business buy and sell the goods and services.
With this advancement in technology, things around us have drastically changed. As smart phones have
become more affordable and prevalent, its carters to man’s comfort and conveniences i.e., ordering food,
online shopping, booking movie tickets etc. With the introduction of digital wallets in early 90’s pioneered by
Sam Pitroda with the vision, underlying the needs of the customers-an easy-to-use interface, ability to securely
transact in the virtual and real world, in came app-based wallets such as Paytm, Mobikwik, freecharge etc,
which have become extremely convenient for a person to make cashless transactions. Mobile wallet is
equivalent to physical wallet, it provides a platform for the use to keep money in its as that of an bank account
i.e. the user needs to make an account with a mobile wallet provider, money can be loaded to the Mwallets
account using a debit card, credit card, bank account etc. the money loaded by the user can be used to pay for
goods and services, transfer funds from their wallet through a smile SMS or via near field communications

CONVERSION PROCESS (PHYSICAL MONEY TO VIRTUAL MONEY)

The advantages of completing an online transaction through mobile wallet is, it does not charge any amount
of money on every transaction and saves the customer from the hassle of entering card details and pin
number for every transaction. It is easy and convenient for the users, as the user needs to sign in the account
and make payment. On the other hand, it focuses on online merchant and offline merchant’s i.e., the M-
wallet provider’s act as intermediary between the merchant and the wallet users. Traditionally, banks were
petrified that their relationship with customer will be upstaged by them, so they launched their own digital
wallet (payzapp and pocket) by HDFC bank and ICICI bank. The current scenario is witnessing a new
payment methodology called the mobile wallet which has revolutionized the payment system on a single tap.
Therefore, the perception of customer is changing from “bank-first to payment first. players like Paytm
Mobikwik Freecharge citrus etc have taken charge towards the payment system. There are currently 20
mobile wallets payment gateway in India out of which few payments system is licensed by RBI as payment
banks. RBI has licensed these wallets as payment banks for their sustainability and certainly to improve their
earning and also facilitate further financial inclusions by providing small savings a/c and remittance services
to migrant labour work force , low income household, small businesses and other unorganized sector
entities. According to RBI data, transactions of M-wallet virtual money have surged three-fold.

OPERATIONAL MECHANISM

Under E-wallet, the individual pre-loads cash and uses it to make payments or transfers. Loading of money
is done either electronically using a computer / mobile by debiting from a credit card or bank account or
physically by handing over cash at a local merchant (point of sale [POS]) or at the ATM counters. What is
required is an internet connection and a mobile /computer. With the technology in place, mobile based
operations through e-wallets have become a mode for financial inclusion There are charges for use of mobile/
e-wallet, which include registration fees and cash loading charges (above a limit) towards payment companies/
service providers. These charges are at times higher than those for internet banking. However, the main
advantage with the e-wallet is that while shopping online, the customer stands to benefit from the concessions/
offers from the payment companies in the form of cash-backs etc.

TYPES OF M-WALLETS PERMITTED IN INDIA

As per the Reserve Bank of India, there are three kinds of e-wallets in India: closed, semi closed and open.

Closed m-wallets:

These are wallets issued by an entity for facilitating the purchase of goods and services from it. These
instruments do not permit cash withdrawal or redemption. As these instruments do not facilitate payments and
settlement for third party services, 1ssue and operation of such wallets are not classified as payment systems.
Hence, RBI approval is not required for issuing them. E.g. Cab services, e-commerce and mobile companies
create e-wallets for making payments towards purchase of products from them /for usage of their services.
They provide cash backs for payments made through this channel. This is one way of ensuring loyalty of their
customers

Semi-Closed m-wallets:

These are wallets which can be used for purchase of goods and services, including financial services at a group
of clearly identified merchant locations establishments which have a specific contract with the issuer to accept
them. These wallets do not permit cash withdrawal or redemption by the holder.

Wallets for amounts up to 10,000 can be created under this category by accepting minimum details of the
customer, provided the amount outstanding at any point of time does not exceed R10,000 and the total value
of reloads during any given month also does not exceed R10,000. Amount up to R50,000/- can be created in
wallets by accepting any 'officially valid document' which is compliant with anti-money laundering rules.
Such wallets are non-reloadable in nature. Amount up to Rs.1,00,000/- can be created by with full Know Your
Client norms (KYC) and can be reloaded. E.g. Airtel Money, which is used for making payments for a range
of services like money transfer from Airtel Money to another bank account or any other Airtel Money Wallet
or paying select utility bills.

and subject to the prescribed limits under the Foreign Exchange Management (Current Account
Transactions) Rules, 2000. Otherwise, use of wallets for cross border transactions is not permitted.

➢ RBI has recently given permission to certain entities to open payments banks and small finance banks.
The basic idea is to further the process of financial inclusion. These banks in the coming years are
expected to make a remarkable change in online transactions by popularizing mobile payments through
e-wallets in rural areas.

➢ Government of India has adopted the stand that promotion of payments through cards and digital means
will be instrumental in reducing tax avoidance, migration of Government payments and collections to
cashless mode, discourage transactions in cash by providing access to financial payment services to
the citizens to conduct transactions through card digital means and shifting payment ecosystem from
cash dominated to noncash/less cash payments.

➢ On 24 February 2016 Government suggested certain proposals for the promotion of payments through
digital means. The essential features of the proposals for promotion of payments through cards and
digital means include steps for withdrawal of surcharge/service charge convenience fee on card/ digital
payments currently imposed by various Government Departments/organisations and introduction of
appropriate acceptance infrastructure in Government Departments/ organisations; rationalization of
Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on card transactions and a differentiated MDR framework for some
key transaction segments; mandating payments beyond a prescribed threshold only in card/ digital
mode: introduction of formulae linked acceptance infrastructure by the stakeholders of certain card
products: rationalisation of telecom service charges for digital financial transactions; promotion of
mobile banking; and creation of necessary assurance mechanisms for quick resolution of fraudulent
transactions and review the payments ecosystem in the country.

PURPOSE OF USING MOBILE-WALLET SERVICES:


As a substitute for the traditional wallet, following are the uses of M-wallet:

2. Instant money transfer to any bank: It offers the customers the flexibility and convenience of
managing their funds via mobile devices by integrating their bank account with M-wallet. It is convenient and
a secured alternative, which allows the consumers to flexibly transfer their funds from bank account to M-
wallet and vice versa without having to visit their bank branch. Consumers need to register with their bank
and integrate their M-wallet with the bank account to avail this service.

3. Online shopping and merchant payments: It allows the users to make payments for all kinds of
goods and services in an easy way via mobile wallet. The payment platform provides a real-time authorization
and enables secure mobile commerce and payment acceptance for both in-store and online.

4. Payment for booking transport facilities: Transportation facilities provide the users, personal
mobility and freedom for users from every walk of life

5. Utility bill payments: It helps the household or office to pay for electricity, water, gas, telephone ete
on a single click

ADVANTAGES OF MOBILE WALLET

1. Ease of use - It's like a one click pay with no need to fill in card numbers and passwords every time. One
can link their credit cards, debit cards and bank accounts and pay immediately with no hassle to enter the
details each time.

2. Ease of access-There will be no need of physical wallet like we do in the case of cash or cards. Also
mobile wallets are upgrading to allow you to store your documents digitally like your Driving License, Aadhar
Card, Pan Card, etc.

3. There will no issue of asking or searching for change (chutta) which we have while handling cash.

4 It will be possible to make instant payments. Just like we can exchange cash at any moment, we can
exchange and transfer money anytime.

5. There would synchronization of data from multiple platforms. Bank accounts, credit and debit cards, mobile
accounts and bills - all will be interconnected and help in better management. It's like everything is under one
roof.

6. It is extremely useful for humongous unorganized sector where cash is considered as the most suitable
medium. Exchange of money through mobile wallet at chaat stalls, street vendors, small shops, etc. would
remove the need to carry cash/cards at such places.

Disadvantages of Mobile Wallet

1. Mobile network connectivity is the biggest impediment. Network problems and reliable and fast internet
connectivity is not available in most of the developing countries.

2. More than connectivity, security issues are at the forefront nowadays. People are always under the fear of
misuse of their money by hackers and frauds. They always Teel safer to have cash. Again, there are also issues
of identity theft that need to be addressed. Issue of pick-pocketing will be replaced by these concerns.

3. Enough support infrastructure is not available. In countries like India there is not enough financial inclusion
and financial literacy. Unless that builds up, there is no use in bringing in more and more advanced
technologies.

4. It also does not cater to needs of the entire population. It's an app on a smart phone. Most of them are using
simple cell phones. Plastic money and m-commerce has not yet caught up completely throughout the entire
nation.

5. India does not have a solid dispute resolution process. Experiences of people with the customer service
agents too are not encouraging.

6. Day-to-day money transactions with e-wallet is easier said than done. For e.g. in a crowded bus, buying a
ticket by paying a conductor through mobile wallet does not seem a viable option. It might be possible but it's
a challenging task.

In India even 5 to 710 transactions take place. Such small transactions are huge in number and need to be
handled carefully with no mix-ups. The companies cannot ignore these transactions as they form bulk of
spending in India. It is a challenging task to make mobile wallet an integral part of the life especially Indian
life. However, there is hope as Similar reservations were seen in case of plastic money to

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ADOPTION OF MOBILEWALLETS

Technological Factors

The payment eco-system in India should develop with a proper business plan and a technical system which
will enable the Integration of the existing market's components into the new market. An important fact obtained
after the analysis of the Indian market is that the rate of penetration for SMS in India is 40% while in the rural
parts of India the villagers are still not aware of how to use the mobile phone in order to transfer money from
their phone to another mobile phone. The primary reason for this problem is that the majority of the villagers
are still not literate and find it extremely hard to understand the user interface of the services most of which is
in English. It is tough to educate the poor people in India especially residents living in rural areas. Statistical
figures depict that a total of 18 million Indians are using credit cards which is comparatively a relatively low
figure when compared to the total population of India. Moreover, penetration of generic plastic cards

For example, The use debit and credit card is pretty low in India because of which the business volume
generated while running mobile payment services is also low which can be improved if policies are introduced
which would educate the people living in rural India to gain their trust in these services and improve the
usability of their mobile phones. Another key factor which frustrates the Indian users is the slow and low
internet and mobile network connectivity and no convergence range in the hilly areas. Good network
penetration and stable network coverage is an essential requirement for handling an ever increasing number
of transactions which are initiated by the service users. In majority of the shopping areas and markets in India
the number of installed POS devices is very less. Additionally, retail shops do not have sufficient time to look
at the purchase details of individual users.

Regulatory factors

Nonbanking entities are active in a semi-closed loop as they block cash withdrawals and C2C options for
instruments issued by these entities. Reserve Bank of India has drafted Some important guidelines for issuance
all prepaid payments and operation of Prepaid

lOMoARcPSD|38073728

Payment Instruments in India tor all mobile operators. These payments are to be strictly used only for purchase
of goods and cash withdrawn from the banks. These guidelines which are issued by the RBI are mainly
subjected to evaluate the customer's payment ability and check money laundering in India. It's important for
the user to declare and provide documents for opening an account in m-wallet. These guidelines provide simple
and important terms and conditions in order to verify the user and open his account (Reserve Bank of India,
2009). RBI's main agenda is that operators should not take the role of banks in case of operations, which is
congruent to the guidelines of the RBI, otherwise it could lead to money laundering and mobile operators
could also disintermediate the banks. Most of the operators are currently able to charge the user by providing
facilities like voice, video, VAS like premium SMS, ringtones, downloads, and a disintermediation of banks
could be possible if banks are made redundant in the value stream (NextBigWhat, 2010c).

Sociocultural factors

India being predominantly a "cash-based" economy (around 65% of transactions in India are cash-based and
nonbank entities find problems in collecting funds for loading prepaid cards. Owing to multiple card scams in
India for example the one nation one card scam Indians do not trust the successful completion of a transaction
until they have physically received the cash or can see an increase in their bank balance. Unlike M-PESA in
Kenya where other payments solutions are rarely available India has other distribution channels in order to
deliver payment services ranging from post offices to local money lenders and "Hawala" systems. In other
words, payment solutions for example M-PESA enjoyed monopoly in other regions while in India a true
incentive needs to be seen by the customer in order to adopt this payment service.

Business factors and user convenience

In case of mobile wallet if the customer wants to pay through an Airtel mobile wallet the merchant should also
have the same and support it. Although the NPCI is trying to mprove interoperability between service providers
through IMPS it's limited to the bank account model. Majority of the time in rural India a mobile device is
shared by the family members and accessibility to this device for transactions is heavily curtailed. The money
locked in prepaid instruments is idle cash for the end customer as compared with a savings

account balance. Organized retail accounts for only 4% of the total business done. The rest of the business is
accounted by unorganized sector and microentrepreneurs ranging from hawkers to shopkeepers who set up
their shops once every week who hardly have a basic bank account where can they afford to accept mobile
payments.

Security

One of the most important factor influencing adoption of E-wallet is the Security, because there have been
many cases of online fraud and data theft in which the security of the users was compromised. In India
especially many people though aware of the concept and knowing the use of E-wallet don't use it just because
they don't want to take unwanted risk of paying online when they have the convenience of Cash On Delivery
(COD) offered by many online retailers.

accounts, online banking and transfers, to enable a cashless economy. The payments bank would be a separate
entity in which the founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma will hold 51%, One97 Communications will hold 39% and
10% will be held by a subsidiary of One97 and Sharma.

pay their bills anytime and anywhere. it also holds the title track rights from Board of Control for Cricket in
India (BCC) for all international and domestic bilateral series hosted by the BCCI for a period of four years (a

headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra which provides online facility to recharge any prepaid mobile phone,
post-paid mobile, DTH & Data Cards, and pay money to merchants in India.

The amount paid by the user for recharge is returned in form of shopping coupons of some of the top retailers
in India, thereby making the recharge virtually free. The first two retailers for which coupons were available
were McDonald's and Barista and were followed by other big retailers such as Café Coffee Day, Domino's
Pizza, Cromã, Puma, Shoppers Stop and Jet Airways.

In 2011, Freecharge was named one of the most promising technology start-ups from India by Pluggd.in.

By January 2012, the number of registered users of the website were 1.5 million which increased to 2.8 million
by November 2012 and the company claimed to be doing online recharge of INR 6 million on a daily,
translating to INR 2.19 billion a year. In March 2013, Freecharge tied-up with production houses Sony
Pictures, Yash Raj Films, UTV Motion Pictures and Viacom 18 to promote their upcoming movies through
its portal. Consequently, Freecharge was the recharge partner of the movies released by these houses such as
Man of Steel, Django Unchained, Mere Dad Ki Maruti and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.

On 1 September 2014 Freecharge received S$33Million Series B Funding from Sequoia Capital, Safina and
Ru-Net. One of the biggest funds raising by an Indian Technology Start-up.

And finally On 8 April 2015, Snapdeal acquired Freecharge for Rs.2800 crore and is being refered as the
biggest takeover in Indian e-commerce sector so far and the biggest Venture Capital exit in India to date.

FreeCharge's advertising strategy helps them to capture online and offline purchase behavior and brand
preferences of consumers, by offering incentives and discount coupons to users to transact on its platform.
Through its app, Freecharge also offer the online wallet features to its users.

On 19th May 2016, Freecharge announced that its users on Android can now send and receive money via
WhatsApp.

Social media is the primary platform used to reach out to new customers. Rather than relying on direct
advertising, the company focuses on unconventional advertising to reach out to customers. In May 2013, the
company in association with The ViralF ever.com (TVF), an online youth entertainment network, launched a
video on YouTube which was a spoof of Emotional Atyachar, a TV show. The name of the company was not
directly mentioned so that the video does not look like an advertisement. The company has launched campus
marketing program by the name of "Freecharge Campus Rockstars" to directly reach out to students in
campuses of IITs and IIMs. It is also the principal sponsors of Delhi Dynamos FC which plays in the Indian
Super League.

Started by Bipin Preet Singh, an engineer form IIT Delhi in 2009, Mobikwik is one of India’s leading Mobile
Wallet companies, that offers its users to use this virtual wallet to make any kind of payments be it online or
offline, at any of its 50,000 (brick and mortar) or 20,000 (online) merchants, just like a physical wallet.

Some of their merchants include - Café Coffee Day, Domino's Pizza, Pizza Hut, PVR, eBay, Jabong, Snapdeal,
Shopclues, HomeShop18, Naaptol, Pepperfry, Fashionara, Make My Trip, Bookmyshow, etc.

All a user had to do Is, add money once to MobiK wik wallet which later could be used multiple times across
functions, services, and service providers to make payments. By this way, one could easily reduce the risk of
exposing card details or bank account details at multiple merchants.

They initiated the model with voice services like prepaid recharge for all operators across India, data services
(GPRS/3G top-ups) and plug n play mobile applications. To make it even more accessible, they even launched
an SMS-based recharge model on the available MobiK wik balance for the people who did not have internet
service, along with a Kwikplan that leveraged one to an automatic recharge facility based on their budget every
month.

Now the other thing they realised was that most of the mobile services used to function on a push' model basis
that means the operator would push down the services to Customers and then the customer would select what
they want. But customers did not have the freedom to proactively go to look for their preference, hence, limited
choices and lower quality services.

T0 Counter that, what Mobikwik did was it brought in an altogether a new 'pull' model in Indian telecom
space, where in one could recharge mobile, check out new plans or offers find premium apps, all at
www.mobikwik.com

Today With over 17 Million users and 50,000 merchants (retailers) and 20,000 merchants ne), One Mobikwik
Systems Private Limited, the parent company of Mobikwik has gone On to become India's leading Mobile

Technology

Google Pay uses the EMV Payment Tokenisation Specification.

The service keeps customer payment information private from the retailer by replacing the customer's credit
or debit card funding primary account number (FPAN) with a tokenized Device Primary Account Number
(DPAN), and creates a "dynamic security code generated for each transaction". The 'dynamic security code' is
the cryptogram in an EMV -mode transaction, and the Dynamic Card Verification Value (dCVV) in a magnetic
stripe data emulation-mode transaction. Users can also remotely halt the service on a lost phone via
Google's find my device service.

To pay at points of sale, users hold their authenticated Android device to the point-of-sale system's NFC reader.
Android users authenticate unlocking their phone by using biometrics, a pattern, or a passcode, whereas wear
OS users authenticate by opening the app prior to payment. To pay in supported Android apps, users choose
Google Pay as their payment method and authenticate with biometrics, a pattern, or a passcode. Users can add
payment cards to the service in any of four ways: through the payment card listed on their Google accounts,
by taking a photo of the card, being provisioned from within the card issuer's app, or by entering the card
information manually.

HOW COVID-19 EFFECTED MOBILE WALLET

While cash was losing its hold even before Covid 19, the pandemic has accelerated the global transition
towards a cashless economy. With winter setting in and infection rates rising again, parts of the world have
entered into a second lockdown. Electronic payment has become the norm for everyday commerce and
physical money may soon become a thing of the past.

Covid 19 forced institutions worldwide to rethink contact with any questionable surfaces, including people
too, digital transactions started picking up in May mainly because of the fear of handling contaminated cash
transactions. It was convenient to use digital payments which also promised greater transparency and less
dependency on middle-men and banking monopolies.

A survey of 11 countries shows that India has emerged as the leader in digital payments during the global
pandemic and interestingly, senior citizens are leading the way. Mastercard’s recent study reports more
than 40% growth in contactless transactions globally in the first quarter of 2020. In the financial year 2019,
India’s digital payments market was valued at INR 1,638.49 trillion which is expected to further go up to INR
4,323.63 trillion by 2024. According to Forbes, Amazon’s value alone has risen by 570 billion us dollars this
year.

With the global online payment platforms witnessing a severe boost, surprisingly, e-commerce including
online shopping, video streaming, pays a small part in the consumer payments scenario. The accelerated push
towards a cashless economy arises from different industries and economic sectors which are not specifically
associated with cashless or contactless payment.

China began as early as February 2020 by disinfecting and even destroying paper money if they suspected
it to be infected. US and South Korea federal reserves quarantined cash to limit the spread of Covid 19.

TEN WAYS COVID-19 IS MOVING US TOWARDS A CASHLESS ECONOMY

1 Peer to peer payments

With sudden lockdowns imposed in most countries, people were left stranded at home for weeks together.
Person to person payment apps came to the rescue to send money to families and friends in need, to pay rent
to houseowners, etc. All these transactions can be done through smartphones, without the use of physical cash
or a card to interact with a point of sales machine.

In a cashless society, payments can be made online which is completely remote and for unattended or attended
retail businesses, proximity payments can be made. Contactless mobile payments can be made by the
proximity method, which may have credit and debit cards stored in an e-wallet.

2 Use of Vending Machines

Vending machines which were very popular in hospitals, offices, airport terminals, etc, because of the
convenience they offer, have become more significant with Covid 19. When the government ordered for stores
etc to be shut or operate for limited hours during weeks of lockdown, vending machines delivered contactless
experiences to users. With people looking to limit the use of cash for fear of contamination, businesses with
vending machines quickly updated their hardware. They offered options such as cashless card readers, digital
screens to run educational and instructional videos on payment icons, credit card safety, how to swipe and use
cards for purchases.

Studies earlier had established that businesses who have vending machines equipped with cashless readers see
their overall sales receive a dramatic boost. The pandemic re-established that vending machines were a
convenient and useful way to purchase without having any contact

3 Cashless Transit Systems

Cashless tap cards are not just cheaper but also speeds up boarding time and reduces delays for all commuters.
A lot of cities in the world have been using this convenient system of payment and the pandemic has given
other transit agencies in different cities of the world an opportunity to switch to a no-cash system.

Transport for London (TfL) has been using it for years and has proved how successful this system is. In March
2020, Metrolinx in Ontario, Canada, got rid of cash payment options to ensure the safety of its staff. It
encouraged commuters to download a mobile app to add money and use the tap and go card readers installed
in its buses to check the tap card balance.

Baguio City, Philippines launched a cashless fare collection system in July, to curb the rising number of Covid
19 affected transport workers. Through tap cards, NFC bank cards, or QR codes, the city from then on uses
cashless, contactless, and seamless payment transactions.

4 Contactless payments at Expressway Tolls

Cashless tolls are a great boon for commuters as it allows them to drive on without halting at toll booths. This
turned particularly effective and beneficial during the pandemic as it eliminated the need for commuters to
halt and interact with toll personnel and contributed to the safely of all.

Transport agencies worldwide are supporting cashless toll payment as it is safe, contactless, and also saves
time.

In India, the number of cashless toll passes issued by the national highways have increased substantially. In
the US, the state of Pennsylvania turned completely cashless and the tolling agency sends non-pass holders
their invoices through mail.

5 Cashless payment at Gas Stations

Covid 19 brought in lockdown and fuel consumption fell initially but as cities opened up, it picked up again.
However, with the fear of contaminated paper money, the need for cashless payments at gas stations emerged.

Even Iran which favours cash, called for cashless payments. To capitalise on the demand for non-touch
payment services, 7-Eleven, the convenience store in the US, launched a new loyalty programme for fuel
purchases in some US states which allow customers to minimise interaction and contact with common spaces
and surfaces and also save at the pump.

6 Museums reopening with cashless payments

Contactless payments is one of the key factors that will be put in place to ensure the success of the safety and
health measures that museums have, as they reopen.

When the virus outbreak started, the Louvre Museum in Paris was one of the first museums to immediately
stop accepting cash payments. Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum opened up in June with a cashless payment system
to make sure that ticket queues were short and visitors could use contactless credit cards, thus reducing
physical contact between the museum staff and visitors.

The American Alliance of Museums’ have issued guidelines to reopen, asking museums to have in place
cashless POS systems like Apple Pay and contactless credit cards. Prominently displaying the payment icon
images at the POS systems will help visitors understand what payment methods are accepted.

7 Best practices for Movie Theatres

Movie theatres are opting for practical contactless payment services which will help to cut down on contact
between grubby bills and food-handling areas. Cinemark, one of the world’s largest movie exhibitors reopened
its theatres in phases and declared that cash payments will not be accepted at the concession stand. Instead,
the company designated an area at each theatre for customers to exchange cash for a prepaid card.

In Thailand, Major Cineplex installed cashless payment kiosks so moviegoers could pay for tickets directly
through NFC cards.

8 Cashless Casinos

Casinos have always been a cash industry and cashless gambling is a notion hard to consider. However, Covid
19 has even pushed casinos to consider adopting cashless transactions. The $261 billion American casino
industry could go for cashless payment options if the American Gaming Association’s call on regulators to
make it easier to adopt cashless transactions is heard. This is also a move to bring in the new generation who
doesn’t use cash at all. Tap to go cards at casinos can also have rewarding customer loyalty programmes.

Canadian Casinos are also exploring cashless and other no-touch technologies. In the case of slot winners,
instead of receiving cash money at the machine, winners could be given a credit slip and paid out at a sanitised
cash cage.

9 Contactless Transactions at Grocery and Retail Stores

With the onset of Covid 19, the food retail industry quickly stepped up to adopt best practices in cleaning and
sanitizing. Grocery stores offered cashless payment options to customers, such as wave payment and tap and
go cards.

Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, offered a no-contact payment option for customers with a new option
added at the cashless stores which allowed customers to simply scan a QR code with their smartphones Publix
Super Markets introduced new tap to pay systems turning over 1,200 outlets into cashless stores all over the
US.

10 Cashless payments at Beauty Salons

Beauty Salons were one of the most affected by the pandemic. As they have reopened, there is a conscious
effort to follow safety protocols and keep contact at a minimum. They are doing away with commonly used
surfaces like PIN pads. Working together with banking service providers to waive off signatures and PINS for
transactions, salons set to put in place a cashless policy and install good to go pay devices that do not need
staff members to handle client debit and credit cards.

Some salons are also enabling clients to buy their products through cashless payment systems and delivering
them home. With Covid 19, the cash payment market seems to be declining rapidly, also propelled by the
younger generation who is comfortable carrying no cash and making electronic payments through their
smartphones or watches. Millennials have always been users of cashless payment services and now it is being
adopted by other age groups also. Mastercard’s survey shows that there has been a significant shift to
contactless payments, especially in the Asia Pacific region. COVID-19 has changed the payments landscape
and paved the way for people shopping in the future too. Consumers have seen and experienced the long-term
benefits of having a cleaner, safer and faster way to make payments and become more socially responsible
too. With the virus likely to have a lasting impact on lives, a cashless society seems to be the path the world
is headed towards and is ready for.

The mobile wallet market in India is projected to surge, with new research pointing to the rising penetration
rate of mobile devices, an increased mobile Internet user base and growing government support as contributing
factors.

SANAZ ZARRIN KAFSH (2015), made a study on "Developing consumer Adoption Model on mobile
wallet in Canada", by taking a sample of 530 respondents through convenience sampling. Partial Least Square
model was used to analyse the data. The focus of the study was to identify the factors that influence the
consumer's adoption of mobile wallets. This study was based on technology acceptance model (TAM) &
innovation diffusion theory (IDT). As per the analysis made by them, there is relationship among perceived
usage perceived ease of use & perceived security in predicting the adoption of mobile wallets.

NEEHARIKA P&VN SASTRY (2014), conducted a study on "A Novel Interoperable Mobile Wallet
Model with Capability based access control framework", this study makes an important contribution towards
the development of a mobile wallet that can work across various platforms. As security is the major concern

INDIA'S E-WALLET MARKET COULD REACH S6.6 BILLION BY 2020.


ACCORDING TO KARAN CHECHI, RESEARCH DIRECTOR WITH TECHSCI
RESEARCH

A large number of banking, financial services and insurance and telecom companies have entered into the
mobile wallet market in India. Tier I cities, such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Pune, etc., have been
the early users of Wallets market for shopping, money transfer, mobile recharge and payments, etc. The
mobile wallet trend is gaining momentum in Tier II cities, such as Jaipur, Lucknow, Chandigarh. Indore, Patna,

RECENTLY THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN MANY CASES OF THEFT FOR


EXAMPLE

CASE 1: Sidharth Bhansali. a tech blogger and e-marketing consultant, lost the money kept in his wallet
because of a security glitch. A user from a different city hacked into Bhansali's account and did multiple
transaction on his behalf. Luckily Mr. Bhansali saved and took the matter up with the wallet company. After
fighting with it for a few months, the wallet company relented, apologised and offered compensation.

CASE 2: Other reasons for slow adoption of E-wallet being people in India prefer to pay by cash and it will
take a lot of time for them to completely shift to cashless transaction. Accordingly, to Vivek Belgavi, partner
and leader of financial services technology consulting firm PWC India cash dominates the bulk of the
transaction for purchases and remittances. The usage of alternate payment modes is slowly picking up, the
alternate payment modes are a setup in the right direction and will take time to be adopted by the various
customer’s segment. The immediate objective would probably be less cash rather than cashless.

Recommendations/ Suggestions

The future of mobile payments in INDIA depends largely on the payment bank license which is to be provided
by RBI so that the consumers will get confidence in using the wallet services All the Mobile wallet providers
need to meet the guidelines stipulated by RBI, so as to acquire payment bank license. The awareness of the of
M-wallet providers is rising when compared to the preference of usage of services, therefore the reasons for
not using M-wallet can be found. However, security concerns appear to be an important factor depressing the
adoption of mobile wallets for payments. Therefore, the mobile wallet providers need to address the security
and privacy concerns of the users. Mobile wallet providers can collaborate with the "Telcos" for better and
fast network connectivity.
