Our Atmanirbhar Bharath has
seen the raise of UPI payments in the
recent few months. This digital platform
is known for its most
convenient mode of
making and receiving
money directly into
bank account without
even remembering the
account number.
The National
Payments Corporation of India (NPCI),
an umbrella organization for operating
retail payments and settlement systems
in India, conducted a pilot launch for
UPI with 21 member banks. The pilot
launch was started on 11th April 2016 by
Dr. Raghuram G Rajan, Governor, RBI
at Mumbai.
The Covid-19 pandemic has ac-
celerated the pace of digital payments
with UPI becoming the biggest benefi-
ciary. In the last 6 years alone, UPI trans-
actions have skyrocketed, now exceeding
$100 billion per month. For over 150
million monthly users, these transactions
occur largely via mobile wallets and pay-
ments applications.
In fiscal 2022, the platform pro-
cessed 45 billion transactions worth
Rs.77.94 trillion. The next target for UPI
is to process a billion
transactions per day in
the next 3-5 years.
Notably, the
global presence of UPI
is apparent as countries
like Bhutan and Nepal
are already accepting
UPI, and it is likely to go live in Singa-
pore later this year. Further, merchants in
Singapore, Cambodia, Malaysia, Thai-
land, Philippines, Vietnam and Bhutan,
accept UPI payments through QR-code
payment systems common in Asia conti-
nent.
Also, Lyra Network – a French
company, has announced that it would
deploy UPI. This is the entrance of UPI
into the European Union (EU) as an al-
ternative payments system designed to
be reliable, secure, and interoperable
among other digital payment firms.

Liz Truss New Prime
Minister – UK
Liz Truss vows energy crisis action
after becoming Britain's new PM
Liz Truss took over as British
prime minister on Tuesday, vowing im-
mediate action to tackle one of the most
daunting set of challenges for an incom-
ing leader in post-War history led by
soaring energy bills, a looming recession
and industrial strife.
“I am confident that together we
can ride out the storm. We can rebuild
our economy, and we can become the
modern brilliant Britain that I know we
can be."
Truss, who will later announce her
government appointments, said she had
three priorities: growing the economy
through tax cuts, dealing with rising en-
ergy costs from this week, and ensuring
people got the care they needed from the
state-run National Health Service.
However, she inherits an economy
in crisis, with inflation at double digits,
the cost of energy soaring and the Bank
of England warning of a lengthy reces-
sion by the end of this year. Already,
workers across the economy have gone
on strike.
Her plan to revive growth through
tax cuts, while also potentially providing
around 100 billion pounds ($116 billion)
for energy, has rattled financial markets,
prompting investors to dump the pound
and government bonds in recent weeks.
Truss has also promised to scrap
plans to increase corporation tax on big
firms, and to reverse an increase in a pay-
roll tax on workers and employers, de-
signed to raise additional funding for
health and social care, with the extra
spending coming from general taxation.
British 30-year government bonds
suffered their sharpest one-day fall since
March 2020 when the COVID-19 pan-
demic caused turmoil in financial mar-
kets, as investors honed in on the extra
borrowing Truss's plans are likely to re-
quire.
Ten-year borrowing costs rose to
their highest since 2011, but two-year
yields fell, with economists noting that
an energy price cap would stop inflation
rising in the near term.
"I will take action this day and action
every day to make it happen. United with
our allies, we will stand up for freedom
and democracy around the world of rec-
ognising that we can't have security at
home without having security abroad.”
Britain, under Conservative rule
since 2010, has stumbled from crisis to
crisis in recent years and there is now the
prospect of a long energy emergency that
could drain the savings of households
and threaten the futures of businesses
still weighed down by COVID-era
loans.
Household energy bills are due to
jump by 80% in October, but a source
familiar with the situation has told Reu-
ters that Truss may freeze bills in a plan
that could cost towards 100 billion
pounds ($115.33 billion), surpassing the
COVID-19 furlough scheme.
The scale of the package, plus the
fact the energy crisis could run for a cou-
ple of years, has spooked investors.
The pound has fared worse
against the U.S. dollar than most other
major currencies recently.
In August alone sterling shed 4%
against the greenback and it marked the
worst month for 20-year British govern-
ment bonds since around 1978, accord-
ing to records from Refinitiv and the
Bank of England.
Britain's public finances also re-
main weighed down by the government's
huge coronavirus spending spree. Public
debt as a share of economic output is not
far off 100%, up from about 80% before
the pandemic.
Synopsis
"I am confident that together we
can ride out the storm. We can rebuild
our economy, and we can become the
modern brilliant Britain that I know we
can be," Truss said, standing in front of
Number 10 Downing Street.

India overtakes the UK as world’s fifth-largest economy
On September 2, the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that
India had surged past the United King-
dom to become the fifth largest economy
in the world.
The latest change in rankings is
based on quarterly gross domestic prod-
uct (GDP) numbers in current dollars for
the period ending December 2021.
India increased its lead over the UK in
the quarter ending March,
IMF data showed
“On an adjusted basis
and using the dollar ex-
change rate on the last day of
the relevant quarter, the size
of the Indian economy in
‘nominal’ cash terms in the quarter
through March was $854.7 billion. On
the same basis, UK was $816 billion,”
stated the Bloomberg report.

India to have its own data protection bill soon
India currently lacks a sound legislation
for data protection. After five years in the
making, the bill that was designed to
protect the privacy of Indians, the Per-
sonal Data Protection Bill 2019, was
withdrawn by the government on
Wednesday. The government assured to
table a new bill soon.
What is data Protection Bill India?
The Bill aimed to provide protection of
digital privacy to individuals relating to
their personal data, specify the flow and
usage of data, and create a relationship of
trust between persons and entities pro-
cessing the data.03-Aug-2022
What is covered in data privacy law?
Data privacy laws specify how data
should be collected, stored, and shared
with third parties. The
most widely discussed
data privacy laws include:
GDPR: The European
Union's General Data
Protection Regulation
(GDPR) is the most com-
prehensive data privacy
law in effect.
Who is responsible for data privacy?
Today, there is no consensus on who is
responsible for data privacy. Some con-
sumers agree that the responsibility lies
with them, but others think governments
or businesses are better equipped to deal
with this complex issue.08-Jan-2019

Demat all Insurance Policies by Dec’22
says IRDAI
What is dematerialisation of insurance policy?
Dematerialisation means transforming physical documents
into a modifiable online format. With dematerialisation or
'Demat', a policy holder can create a portfolio of insurance
policies he has and store them in an electronic form with an
insurance repository.
What is Demat in policy?
Dematerialisation or 'Demat' allows a policy
holder to create a portfolio of insurance poli-
cies and store them in an electronic form with
an insurance repository. It has been introduced
by IRDAI as a similar facility to the one avail-
able for stocks.
With this rule, policyholders can have
only one e-Insurance Account with an insur-
ance repository of their choice.
From November 1, 2022 e-KYC will
also become mandatory for all insurance poli-
cies, which will further help in dematerialising
insurance policies.
The IRDAI has also proposed setting up a new platform
for the sale, servicing, and claims of insurance policies, which
will be operational from December 2022.
What is the most important requirement for dematerialisa-
tion?
Dematerialisation starts with opening a Demat account. For
Demat account opening, you need to shortlist a Repository that
offers Demat services.
Four Insurance Repositories
1. NSDL National Insurance Repository
2. CDSL Insurance Repository Ltd.
3. Karvy Insurance Repository Ltd.
4. CAMS Insurance Repository Services Ltd.
The Insurance Repository
Maintains the Electronic Insurance Account (eIA) of the in-
sured person and all insurance policies (life/non-life/group).
Can be stored and accessed through this facility.
In the last few years, insurance repositories have helped
in electronic issuance, storage, and services for over 10 million
insured persons.
There is huge responsibility on the fi-
nancial professionals to assist all their custom-
ers and clients in getting the policies Demat.
It’s a golden opportunity to serve our custom-
ers and be in line with the change.

7. National Pension Scheme
National Pension Scheme
(NPS) is a pension scheme run
by government and regulated
by PFRDA for individuals, gov-
ernment employees, private
firm employees, organized sec-
tor and non-organized sector to
accumulate required corpus to purchase annuity
(pension) on retirement. It has certain benefits such as
low-cost fund, certain tax benefits. It also offers flexibil-
ity to choose & change your Pension Fund Manager
(PFM).
Accumulating corpus for retirement requires contribu-
tion for long durations. The long durations savings/
investment require more inflation proofing compared
to short duration goals. The choice of asset backed in-
vestment options under NPS provide inflation proofing
necessary for such a long duration goal though with
some short time volatility.
Post retirement one will need adequate guaranteed
predictable monthly pension income which will remain
inflation proof as long as one is alive. Providing for
one’s retirement income is one of the most important
real needs of any individual. But generally, people give
importance to short term needs which are perceived
needs and not the real need. One must give retirement
goal as importance as to child education or protection
of income or any other must have financial goal. Since
the topic is NPS I will not go in to details of financial
planning need for retirement but let’s discuss one of
the best options NPS to accumulate corpus for retire-
ment need.
Let me explain in very simple steps how NPS works
 Open NPS account (One can open online ENPS)
 Chose tier 1 (only tier 1 offers tax benefit)
 Choose your PFM (Pension Fund Manager)
 Make investment choice (Auto/Active)
 In case of Active choice chose asset allocation
 Make initial contribution as low as Rs 500
 Make contributions till age 60 (lock in period)
 Your contributions over the year would have
grown in sizable corpus
 Utilize at least 40% of your corpus to purchase
immediate annuity from any approved life insur-
ance company at a prevailing rate at that time.
Now let’s understand the features, technical details,
Pension Fund Managers, Past returns of different
schemes PFM wise, FAQs, Procedure to open online
