7th CPC: Finmin gets 2 months more to issue higher allowances notification

“The October-November month is the scheduled for issuing notification for the Finance Ministry, but the time was extended by 2 months because the cash crunch on account of demonetisation, which is taking time to get normality. Therefor,unless the banks can begin to function with a modicum of efficiency, the government will not issue notification on higher allowances to save demonetisation chaos,” the official said.

From now, no OTP will be required for payments under Rs 2,000

In a move that will make it easier for cab aggregators like Uber and Ola and other online merchants to accept cards, the RBI has relaxed two-factor authentication for online payments below Rs 2,000. 

The RBI's insistence on a second factor authentication (in the form of a one-time password, or OTP) had prompted cab aggregators to tie up with digital wallets like Paytm. While customers can even now pay by card, they need to wait for a text message containing the OTP before concluding the transaction.In future, if they register with the merchant, they can complete the payment by entering a password authenticated by the card network.
