The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has recently issued a cautionary statement regarding the issuance of Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPIs) by unauthorised entities. Specifically, Talk Charge Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has been identified for operating without the required authorization from the RBI under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007.
Detailed Analysis:
1. Violation of Regulatory Provisions: Talk Charge Technologies Pvt. Ltd., despite multiple communications from the RBI, continued to issue and operate Prepaid Payment Instruments without obtaining the necessary authorization as mandated by the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007.
2. Nature of Violation: The RBI has noted that Talk Charge wallets were being used for transactions beyond their defined scope. Instead of being limited to facilitating purchases solely from the issuing entity, these wallets were being utilized for third-party services such as utility bill payments and recharges.
3. Legal Action Taken: In response to these violations, the RBI issued directives to Talk Charge Technologies Pvt. Ltd. to cease the issuance and operation of its Prepaid Payment Instruments. Additionally, the entity was instructed to refund the balances held in the wallets to the customers within a specified timeframe.
4. Misleading Communications: It has been brought to light that the entity attempted to create a false impression among its customers by implying that the demand for repayment of cashback amounts was in accordance with RBI directives. The RBI clarified that its directives solely pertained to the refund of prepaid amounts.
5. Caution to the Public: The RBI urges the public to exercise vigilance while engaging with websites or applications offering financial services. It emphasizes the importance of verifying the authorization status of entities before conducting any financial transactions.
Conclusion:
The RBI’s cautionary statement serves as a reminder of the regulatory framework governing financial transactions and the importance of adhering to it. Entities operating in the financial sector must comply with the necessary regulatory requirements to ensure the safety and security of consumers’ financial transactions. It is incumbent upon the public to remain vigilant and verify the authorization status of entities offering financial services to mitigate the risk of falling victim to fraudulent activities.

Madam / Dear Sir,
Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007 — Talk Charge Technologies Pvt. Ltd. —
Stop Operations Order
This is with reference to multiple e-mail communications the Reserve Bank of India, New Delhi Regional Office had with Talk Charge Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (the entity) between December 2023 — January 2024 and the subsequent responses submitted by your entity with regards to the issuance and operations of Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPIs).
2. In terms of Section 4 of the Payment and Settlement Systems (PSS) Act, 2007, no person, other than the Reserve Bank of India, shall commence or operate a payment system except under and in accordance with an authorisation issued by the Reserve Bank of India under the provision of this Act.
3. We invite your attention to para 2.1 of the Master Directions – Prepaid Payment Instruments (MD-PPI) dated August 27, 2021 (Updated as on February 10, 2023), issued by RBI, which defines Closed System PPIs as PPIs issued by an entity for facilitating the purchase of goods and services from that entity only and do not permit cash withdrawal. These instruments cannot be used for payment or settlement for third party services. Attention is also invited to the definition of Small PPIs vide para 2.8 (i) of the above MD-PPI, wherein it is stated that the Small PPIs are used only for purchase of goods and services; Funds transfer or cash withdrawal from such PPIs shall not be permitted. Small PPIs can be used at a group of clearly identified merchant locations / establishments which have a specific contract with the issuer (or contract through a payment aggregator / payment gateway) to accept the PPIs as payment instruments.
4. It is, however, observed from the submissions made by the entity on December 18, 2023, and January 12, 2024; and also, from usage of Talk charge wallets for recharges / utility bill payments, that the money stored in Talk charge wallets can be used for third party services such as utility bill payments, recharges, etc. As such, these transactions conducted using Talk charge wallets do not conform to be Closed System PPIs and tantamount to operating PPIs, which is a payment system in itself
5. Considering that the entity is issuing and operating PPIs without a Certificate of Authorisation issued by the Reserve Bank of India in terms of Section 7 of the PSS Act, 2007, it has violated the provisions of the PSS Act, 2007.
6. In view of the above, you are advised to immediately stop the business of issuance and operation of wallets / PPIs. Further, you are also advised to refund the balances held in the existing Talk charge wallets, if any, to the source (payment source from where the PPI I wallet was loaded) or bank account of such customers (duly verified by M/s Talk charge Technologies Pvt. Ltd.).
7. A compliance to the above directions may be submitted to RBI within 15 days from the date of receipt of this Order. Subsequently, you may also submit a ‘No liability’ certificate duly certified by a Chartered Accountant.
8. The order is issued under the provisions of the PSS Act, 2007.
9. Please acknowledge receipt of this Order.
Yours faithfully,
(Amitabh Khandelwal)
General Manager
