Digital payments across India rose by 10.7 per cent year-on-year as of March 2025, according to the latest Reserve Bank of India – Digital Payments Index (RBI-DPI).
The index, which tracks the growth and adoption of online transactions, stood at 493.22, up from 445.5 in March 2024 and 465.33 in September 2024, the RBI said in a statement.

The RBI-DPI comprises five key parameters that assess the penetration and deepening of digital payments:
