Payments Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) has been created by the Reserve Bank of India. The fund has been created to encourage acquirers to deploy Points of Sale (PoS) infrastructure, both physical as well as digital modes, in tier-3 to tier-6 centres and in north eastern states. With this fund, RBI is aiming to provide impetus to acceptance infrastructure across India especially in underserved areas in order to stimulate the digitisation of payment systems. RBI will be responsible for managing and administering the PIDF, while it would be governed through an Advisory Council.
