The conception with creation in those initiatives, which took precedence above all others, entities including the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT). The Corporation of India Limited (CCIL), which established India's payment methods. The current selection of digital payment options accessible throughout the nation, which enhances the experience for consumers with options, ease of use, and these firms owe a great lot to the belief in the digital payment environment. The infrastructure for financial inclusion, receiving payments, and the adaptation of digital payment systems for payments enabled by government's Aadhaar framework for national identity authentication all saw significant developments during the process. In order to earn the trust of customers, a reliable monitoring and settlement mechanism was paired with a growing payment system. Strong client protection policies have led to India being one of the world's safest retail payment systems, and payment system interoperability has made transactions possible with an unparalleled level of ease. Even though this is j ust the start, India is already regarded as a global leader in the area of digital payments. One of the preliminary events in the Indian socio-political framework that sparked the rise in the use of digital payments was the demonization that took place in 2016 in India. Demonetization is a step the government takes to remove currency's legal tender status. When the government decides to alter the national currency, it happens. The nation will no longer recognize the present money in the form of notes or coins as legal tender. Countries demonetize their currencies for distinct reasons, including fighting inflation, deterring crime and corruption, promoting digital payment methods, easing commerce, and more. With demonetization declared, the public of the country faced a huge operational constraint in remonetizing their value for the currency. One of the handy ways to get the currency remonetized was to utilize banking and digital platforms for payment transfers and deposits. With long queues in front of banks to get the currencies exchanged, digital payments were one infrastructure that yielded the most convenience, and since then digital payments ecosystem has seen a boom.
