RBI has told the Supreme Court that it has no responsibility to conduct audit of members of United Payments Interface (UPI) ecosystem and responsibility to ensure that private firms like Google and WhatsApp comply with norms lie with National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in its affidavit filed in the top court, also said that the matters related to data privacy and data sharing come under the domain of the central government. The RBI's affidavit, which also sought dismissal of the PIL, was filed in response of a plea of Rajya Sabha MP Binoy Viswam seeking direction to it to frame regulation to ensure that data collected on UPI platforms is not exploited or used in any manner other than for processing payments.
