Mobile payments surpass credit cards in 2021: Report

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Mobile payments in India are now growing faster than card payments as more consumers and businesses adopt digital payments amidst the pandemic, said the 2021 India Mobile Payments Market Report.

According to the report, payments made via apps that bypass credit cards rose 67 per cent to $478 billion in 2020. They are clocking more than $1 trillion in annualised value in 2021.

“…we expect mobile payments to continue to grow faster than cards due to a growing consumer preference to use smartphones to pay,” said the report published by S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Financial Institutions Research team.

By comparison, credit card transaction value in the industry dropped by 14 per cent in fiscal 2021. For banks, the ongoing pandemic shaved off $524 million in credit card interchange revenue according to its estimates, as consumers hunkered down amid lockdown measures.

“Mobile payments in India accelerated their lead over cards amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Large technology companies intermediating mobile payments are becoming financial supermarkets by cultivating partnerships with financial institutions and securing regulatory licenses.”

It also said that demand for cash is slowing in the wake of rising mobile payment adoption. For each ATM withdrawal, Indians made 3.7 transactions using mobile phones in 2020.

It has also forecast that there continues to be room for rapid growth digital payments in India in the next few years.

“Based on a review of instant payments in four large Asia-Pacific economies, India processed the highest number of real-time transactions in 2020,” it said, while noting that the country’s real-time transactions per capita of 16 in 2020 was the lowest in the group, which includes Australia, Thailand and Singapore.

While PhonePe and Google Pay continue to dominate mobile payments, the report said it does not expect India’s mobile payments market to become a duopoly like in mainland China, where Alipay and WeChat process the bulk of mobile payments.

“Payment fintechs with business-to-business models burn significantly less cash than their consumer-facing brethren,” it further said, adding that large fintechs that work closely with large and small enterprises are poised for overseas expansion and business diversification.

Crypto exchange WazirX disrupted by the rush to buy Shiba Inu coins

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


A record-breaking rally and frantic trading in meme-themed crypto currency Shiba Inu has disrupted crypto exchange WazirX, which is headquartered in Mumbai.

Shiba Inu has rallied more than 100 per cent in the past 24 hours on the back of a petition to get it listed on global stock trading brokerage platform Robinhood. Disruption hurts many people as WazirX has more than 9 million users, sources told BusinessLine.

Shiba Inu has been on a dream run since Vitalik Buterin, the founder of the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency Ethererum, donated around $1 billion (₹7,324 crore) worth of Shiba Inu coins to India’s Covid Crypto Relief Fund. This fund was set up by Indian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sandeep Nailwal on April 24. Buterin is a Russian-Canadian programmer and writer who is known to be close to maverick businessman and Tesla promoter Elon Musk.

Last month, Shiba Inu witnessed a rally as Musk tweeted a photo of his puppy dog that resembles the meme coin. Shiba Inu was founded in 2020 by an anonymous person going by the Japanese name Ryoshi who put it on the blockchain network to decentralise its operations.

Indian cryptocurrency market likely to reach up to $241 million by 2030: Nasscom

In the last 24 hours, the rally in Shiba Inu was due to three lakh people signing petitions on Change.org to get it listed on Robinhood. This led to disruption on WazirX on Wednesday. Crypto exchanges trade for 24 hours 365 days. Little known individual Tristan Luke had started the petition to list Shiba Inu on Robinhood and has received more than lakh signatures. The Dogecoin inspired meme coin Shiba Inu is the 11th largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $32 billion. It is listed exclusively on WazirX in India.

“We are investigating the delays in the WazirX app and website. Team is working on scaling the systems and will update you as soon as it is fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience,” WazirX told its clients in a communication. It also lists scores of other crypto currencies on its platform but has not given any reason for the tech disruption.

NFTs gaining traction in India as celebrities lead the way

Opaque process

According to traders on WazirX, even though the money was transferred from the bank, their orders could not get executed or the orders once placed could not get cancelled. Also, those who traded on Wednesday had no way to know details of their transactions till Thursday morning. Those buying and selling on WazirX platform have to mainly use Mobikwik pay wallets to transfer their money from bank accounts to and fro. Since Wednesday, Mobikwik, too, had been witnessing payment issues, clients told Business Line.

Crypto exchanges are yet to prove themselves on the technology front and clients say that sometimes buying and selling on them and money transfers are tedious. Yet, due to the hype of crypto trading these exchanges now claim to have more traders registered with them than the mainline stock exchanges like the BSE.

Experts say that WazirX and scores of other crypto exchanges should detail their technology and various other details like inventor profile and checks and balances followed by them in handling client money. The total market capitalisation of the global crypto market is nearly $2.6 trillion, which is the same as India’s gross domestic production.

Form 26AS; Check Latest Eight New Features Added By Income Tax Department

[ad_1]

Taxes

oi-Sneha Kulkarni

|

The Income Tax Department will now provide full details of taxpayers’ financial transactions, such as foreign remittances, the purchase and receipt of dividends on mutual funds, and other off-market transactions reported by depositories in Form 26AS, in order to prevent information suppression by taxpayers.

Form 26AS; Check Latest Eight New Features Added By Income Tax Department

One of the most crucial tax forms for any taxpayer is Form 26AS, also known as a Tax Credit Statement. It accurately reflects the amount of tax you have paid to the IRS, either directly or through other taxpayers.

What is form 26AS?

Form 26AS is a consolidated yearly tax statement that includes information on taxes deducted at source, taxes collected at source, advance tax paid by the assessee, and self-assessment tax. This data pertains to a Permanent Account Number (PAN).

The annual information statement, also known as Form 26AS, will now include the following eight new features:

  1. Information on foreign remittances reported on Form 15CC
  2. Details on TDS on salary in Annexure II of the last quarter’s Form 24Q TDS Statement
  3. Information from other taxpayers’ ITRs
  4. Interest earned on a prior financial year’s income tax refund
  5. PAN information in Form 61/61A, which indicates that if a taxpayer receives a PAN after submitting Form 61, it should be entered in Form 26AS.
  6. Depository/Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) reported for Off Market Transactions, which refers to trades that are not settled through an exchange’s clearing organisation.
  7. RTA has disclosed dividend information for a mutual fund.
  8. RTA-reported information on mutual fund purchases.

What is included in form 26AS?

Form 26AS would include information on pay break-up, any deductions to be claimed by the employee, his/her income from other sources and residential property, as well as the overall tax burden.

Its format has altered since last year to include specific financial transactions of taxpayers, which will be supplied in the form of a Statement of Financial Transactions (SFTs).

Buying and selling stocks, real estate, and other financial instruments, as well as making cash payments for bank draughts, Reserve Bank of India-issued pre-paid instruments (such as mobile wallets), cash deposits in a financial year, and payment of credit card bills, are all examples (both cash or and other modes).

Other information about taxpayers, such as Aadhaar number, date of birth, cellphone number, email address, and address, will be included in the new form.

The data must be submitted within three months of receiving it, starting from the end of the month in which it was received. Off-market transactions will also be included in the Form. The necessary depositories or registrars, as well as transfer agents, are responsible for reporting such transactions. Details on the sale or purchase of a motor vehicle, the opening of a demat account with a depository, and hotel payments, among other things, will be added to the database.
