Rental and Tuitions fees are affected, so beware before initiating any big transaction as it may be put on hold.

RBI is after this whole business payment ecosystem now and there are chances that such payments may no longer be allowed anymore.



A senior official, whose fintech is directly impacted by this decision, said, "There's some miscommunication or misrepresention to RBI, otherwise there’s no reason they would be doing this. This is coming from a point of view that there’s quite a bit of transactions happening in the ecosystem in the name of tuition fee, rental payments and the likes of it...which is becoming too large to manage. RBI's concerns might be the source of the money and where it is going."
