Days after Reserve Bank of India (RBI) clarified in the Delhi High Court that Google Pay did not provide any payment systems raised questions about the legitimacy pf the digital transaction platform, Google Pay has clarified that it operated completely within the law.
In a tweet, GPay clarified that the app functions as a “technology service provider to partner banks, to allow payments via UPI”. It also clarified that “All transactions made via the app are fully protected by redressal processes laid out by applicable guidelines of the RBI/NPCI”.
The clarification came after the electronic payment and settlement systems infrastructure provider The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), confirmed that the platform was indeed an authorised app and that payments made through it are fully protected.

It is important to note that Gpay has NOT been banned by either RBI or NPCI.
The trend has likely stemmed from a report from earlier this week, wherein a Press Trust of India report quoted the Reserve Bank of India as stating that Google Pay does not operate a payment system in India, and hence does not find a place in the list of authorised payment system operators published by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). RBI’s response came in light of a PIL to the Delhi High Court, filed by economist Abhijit Mishra. However, Google has since responded to RBI’s submissions, stating that it is a legal operator in India, and as a result, your money is as safe as it would be on another other payment service’s platform.
