Paytm, mobikwik etc are some of the most popular e-wallet companies currently operating in the country.

Unlike current practice, wallet providers both non-bank and banking entities are required to be KYC compliant as also maintain some minimum sum or have a minimum turnover to operate as a wallet company.

Non-banking wallets also need to maintain an escrow account reflecting both customer and merchant transactions as the requirement still holds true.
