Young Turks Startup RoundUp | Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar accuses NPCI, and more

Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar Sharma accuses NPCI of carving out loopholes for WhatsApp Pay.

NPCI has given its consent to roll out WhatsApp BHIM UPI beta launch with limited user base of 1 million & full feature product shall be released after the beta test is successful.

4 banks will join the multi-bank BHIM UPI model in phases; broad principles for interoperability are required in final app.

Only the BHIM UPI enabled app that fulfils such principles will be permissible for full scale public launch.
