About the Prepaid payment instrument: 

  • A semi-closed PPI is effectively a digital wallet but one through which transactions can flow to merchants and establishments other than the one offering the wallet services.
  • The wallet will become a part of Bajaj Pay, which is the company’s bid to provide an integrated platform for all payments solutions.
  • Semi-closed System PPIs allow you to make payments to multiple merchants through the platform.
  • Cash withdrawal services, however, still remain prohibited.

Important takeaways for all competitive exams:

  • Bajaj Finance Headquarters: Pune, Maharashtra;
  • Bajaj Finance CEO: Sanjiv Bajaj.
