Ya but Ebixcash have PPI wallet license from RBI.

Our PPI wallet money is safe. They cant use our wallet money for any other type of investment.

Ebixcash per day wallet loading limit is also max 5k and bank transfer (full video kyc users) limit max 10k per month.

wallet loading is free but bank transfer charges 2%+gst.

If you have paytm fastag then easily transfer ebixcash wallet to bank via paytm fastag recharge but per fastag rc limit is only Rs100 (we cant edit the amount).

HSBC is smart enough to place a capping of 1k per month max.

I just hope HSBC doesn't go bankrupt !
