The RBI had come out with the payment aggregator framework in March 2020, according to which, all payment gateways needed to obtain a license to acquire merchants and offer them payment services. Over 185 fintech, including Cred, Razorpay, Paytm, and PhonePe, had submitted proposals for the license.

According to the RBI rules, the eligibility criteria for payment aggregators include the minimum net worth criterion of Rs 15 crore by March 31, 2021, and Rs 25 crore by the end of the ongoing fiscal year (FY23).
