Paytm Payments Bank empowers FASTag users with fast redress mechanism

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Paytm Payments Bank Ltd (PPBL) has announced that it has facilitated refunds for 2.6 lakh FASTag users who were charged incorrectly by toll plazas in the year 2020.

It has set up a fast redressal mechanism, which identifies incorrect deductions and raises claims to reverse the extra charges.

While FASTags ensure automatic payment of toll charges, sometimes issues with systems and processes present at the toll plaza result in deduction of more than the applicable charges.

Redressal mechanism

To expeditiously resolve all such customer complaints, PPBL has put in place a dispute management process that audits all customer complaints, associated toll transactions, and issues raised by the toll plazas.

Satish Gupta, MD and CEO – Paytm Payments Bank Ltd said in a statement: “It has been our endeavour to empower our users with seamless and hassle-free travel on road. In this quest, we support our users in every possible way, including fast redressal of any grievance they face with toll plazas. We strive to ensure that customers are always charged the correct toll amount and our teams remain vigilant against the unjustified charging at every step.

The innovations that we have made in technology and the deep trust in our bank has helped us become the leading issuer of FASTags in the country. We aim to expand our services across the length & breadth of the country and contribute towards building fully digital journeys on highways.”

Paytm Payments Bank is the top issuer and the largest acquiring bank under the National Electronic Toll Collection programme.

Dear All




Welcome to the refurbished site of the Reserve Bank of India.





The two most important features of the site are: One, in addition to the default site, the refurbished site also has all the information bifurcated functionwise; two, a much improved search – well, at least we think so but you be the judge.





With this makeover, we also take a small step into social media. We will now use Twitter (albeit one way) to send out alerts on the announcements we make and YouTube to place in public domain our press conferences, interviews of our top management, events, such as, town halls and of course, some films aimed at consumer literacy.




The site can be accessed through most browsers and devices; it also meets accessibility standards.



Please save the url of the refurbished site in your favourites as we will give up the existing site shortly and register or re-register yourselves for receiving RSS feeds for uninterrupted alerts from the Reserve Bank.



Do feel free to give us your feedback by clicking on the feedback button on the right hand corner of the refurbished site.



Thank you for your continued support.

G-Sec yields continue to rise

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The Government Securities (G-Sec) market continued to be spooked by a host of factors, including oversupply of G-Secs, rising US Treasury yields and oil prices.

Yield on the widely-traded 10-year benchmark G-Sec (carrying a coupon rate of 5.85 per cent) rose about 5 basis points to about 6.2290 per cent, with its price declining about 33 paise to ₹97.25 over the previous close.

Yield on the earlier 10-year benchmark G-Sec (carrying a coupon rate of 5.77 per cent) jumped about 8 basis points to about 6.3162 per cent, with its price dropping about 54 paise to ₹96.16 over the previous close.

The discomfort of the market players with the yields manifested in the form of them seeking higher yields at the auction of two G-Secs.

So, the Reserve Bank of India devolved about 66 per cent of the notified amount of ₹4,000 crore in the case of the three-year G-Sec on primary dealers (PDs). It also devolved about 19 per cent of the notified amount of ₹11,000 crore in the case of the 15-year G-Sec.

In the case of the auction of two other G-Secs, the Government exercised greenshoe option on the 13-year floating rate bond, mopping up ₹5,450 crore against the notified amount of ₹4,000 crore, and accepted partial bids aggregating ₹2,503.522 crore against the notified amount of ₹5,000 crore for the 30-year G-Sec.

Marzban Irani, CIO-Fixed Income, LIC Mutual Fund, said: “We will be struggling with inflation as we go ahead because of increase in commodity prices. Additional liquidity infusion is leading to more inflation.

“…In the US also, yields are rising continuously. Across the world, central banks are saying “don’t worry, we will infuse liquidity, this and that”. But markets are not ready to believe. Markets are in correction mode only.”
