PREFACE
M
obile phone has emerged as the most effective mode of communication across the
globe in all the categories – voice, data,
images, video downloads/interactive
et al. It has already made redundant the use of camera,
watch, calculator, diary, video game consoles and i-pod.
Downloading of films and online streaming of TV may
decrease utility of conventional TV. It is further encroaching upon the use of plastic cards, desk/laptops and tablets to access Internet. It has morphed into a one device
solution for all that a person is required to use for work
and entertainment. Bluetooth & NFC have increased its
connectivity to a variety of other electronic equipment.
Innovations in the areas of miniaturization, communication and storage capacities have further strengthened its
capabilities.
It is thus no wonder that mobile is becoming one of the
most prominent channels of banking as well. It is taking
over Internet Banking and all other forms of non-cash
banking transactions. Even in the area of cash transactions,
it may soon replace plastic cards for accessing ATM. It may
in fact reduce the very need of cash when the day-to-day
transactions between persons/merchants start happening
for instant transfer of funds on the spot.
Mobile banking is likely to play a very significant role in
regard to financial inclusion of vast section of the society
residing in remote areas. Due to logistics and commercial
considerations, banks are still away from a very large population residing in rural areas. Poorer sections of the society,
even in banked areas, are deprived of basic banking facilities since the existing infrastructure is ill-equipped to cater
to their requirements. Mobile Banking is expected to play
an important role in bridging this gap as it significantly
reduces the transaction costs and helps in reducing need
for physical cash.
In India, so far progress in adoption of Mobile Banking
has been a little tardy. This is because of several reasons
like requirement of ‘smart phones’ to do secured mobile
banking while most of the population uses ordinary (feature) handsets. This scenario, however, is heading for a
rapid change as ‘smart phones’ are becoming more and
more affordable and also Mobile Banking solutions are
being developed to provide communication on ordinary
handsets. NPCI has recently setup a platform to facilitate
inter-bank transactions through ordinary mobile phones.
In addition, mobile communication network is fast moving
into interior parts of the country which will enable people
residing in remote areas to get connected to the mobile
communication.
All these developments have provided an excellent tool
in the form of the mobile for banks to achieve financial
inclusion goals by reaching to the common man in every
nook and corner of the country. It is not far off when we
find a secured and use-friendly mobile banking within the
reach of masses in every nook and corner of the country.
Banks have recognized the potential of mobile banking.
Most commercial banks have launched their mobile banking products to cater to different segments of their client
base. These banks are backed by their own data centres,
technical, human and financial resources. Their aggressive
foray has started yielding results.
Following data is indicative of the exponential growth of
mobile banking transactions in the recent past:

In the background of the above, it is crucial that rural/
cooperative banking sector moves on to mobile banking
at the earliest. Having already migrated to Core Banking
Solution, which is the foundation for on-boarding mobile
banking, these banks are now well positioned to move forward even though constraints in terms of financial, technical
and human resources are a challenge. Fortunately, several
outsourcing models are available to address these concerns.
This handbook is intended to familiarize the banks about
the mobile banking solutions available in the market, the
regulatory provisions and other essential matters of compliance. It also outlines the steps required to be taken to get
on-board the mobile banking platform.

A. SNAPSHOT
i) In terms of guidelines issued by RBI, ‘Mobile Banking
transaction’ means undertaking banking transactions
using mobile phones by bank customers that involve
accessing/credit/debit to their accounts.
in existence. Annexure ‘I’ contains diagrammatical
description of transaction flow under each model.
ii) Banks having a valid banking license, have to seek one
time approval from RBI for starting mobile banking
services. RBI has issued detailed regulatory guidelines1
which the banks have to comply with while conducting
mobile banking business.
viii) Banks can also avail the services of ASPs to avoid
owning the Mobile Banking Switch (similar to RuPay
Card Switch). Some of these ASPs are operating their
own Mobile Banking Switch, providing BC and PPI
services. These non-banking entities and several other
players in the market may be likely vendors for this
type of ASP services.
iii) Banks are required to have a mobile banking solution
linked to their CBS.
ix) Engaging BCs by banks is subject to regulatory guidelines issued by RBI from time to time.
iv) To be able to effect inter-bank payments, the Mobile
Banking Switch is required to be linked to IMPS, an
inter-bank payment and settlement platform setup by
NPCI, just like NFS for RuPay Cards. Currently, remittances upto Rs. 2 lac can be done through IMPS.
x) The structural diagram of mobile banking in India is
given below:
v) To help banks in providing secured and user-friendly
mobile banking services (including inter-bank payments) to their customers having ordinary GSM (not
available on CDMA) mobile phones, NPCI has setup a
common USSD platform to link different telecom service providers with banks.
vi) T
he range of services provided by a bank depends upon
the technology(s) adopted by them and the type of
mobile phones owned by the customers. Many banks
are offering multiple options so that customers having
ordinary mobile phones as well as those having ‘smart
phones’ get banking services as per capabilities of their
phones.
vii) There are several vendors offering mobile banking
solutions. The solutions are available on ownership
as well as ASP model2. BC assisted models are also

B. CURRENT SCENARIO
Most commercial banks and major urban cooperative
banks are offering mobile banking services. Apart from
offering mobile banking services directly to the customers, banks also avail services of non-banking entities as
Business Correspondents (BCs) to reach out to wider section of the customers, particularly in the remote areas.
These non-banking entities include authorized PPI issuers
as well as others. These BCs often operate their own mobile
banking platform, linked to CBS of the bank. Alongside
banking services, they also cater to various other financial
service providers. Some BCs also offer dedicated BC outlets for individual banks.
Apart from banks, many other non-banking entities are
engaged in payment services/mobile wallet services. They
require authorization from RBI under the PSS Act, 2007
for setting up and operating Payment System in India. At
present, 30 non-banking entities have been authorized by
RBI for issuing Pre-Paid Payment Instruments (PPIs)3.
These non-banking entities can offer ‘closed system’ and
‘semi-closed system’ PPIs (not permitted to issue ‘open
payment system’ PPIs). RBI has issued detailed guidelines for issuance and operation of Prepaid Payment
Instruments. Annexure ‘II’ contains the list of these nonbanking entities.
Inter-Bank Transactions
Inter-bank remittances/payments may be facilitated
through RTGS/NEFT as well as IMPS (Immediate
Payment System setup by NPCI) in case of banks connected with both. Banks not connected to RTGS/NEFT can
offer inter-bank transfers through IMPS. To be a member
of the IMPS, the banks have to be either a direct member of
payment settlement system or have to come through sponsorship by a direct member bank, similar to membership

*Position as on September 1, 2014
3 Pre-Paid Payment Instruments (PPI) are stored value Instruments, defined under 3 categories –
i) ‘Closed System’ - for facilitating the purchase of goods and services from the issuer
ii) ‘Semi-Closed System’- for purchase of goods and services, including financial services at a group of clearly identified merchant
locations/ establishments which have a specific contract with the issuer to accept the payment instruments
iii) ‘Open System’ - for purchase of goods and services, including financial services like funds transfer at any card accepting merchant
locations (point of sale terminals) and also cash withdrawal at ATMs/BCs. Only banks are given permission by RBI to issue ‘Open
System’ PPIs. Detailed guidelines contained in RBI Master Circular No.RBI/2014-15/105 DPSS.CO.PD.PPI.No.3/02.14.006/2014-15

process for joining card payment system. The membership
of this is open to banks as well as non-banking entities
authorized by RBI for PPI. NPCI has laid down detailed
guidelines, technical specifications, process and procedure
for membership and conduct of business. NPCI provides
guidance and support to banks as and when they approach
NPCI for membership.
As on date, 68 banks and 8 non-banking entities are members of IMPS. Annexure ‘III’ contains the detailed list of
the same.
Emerging Developments
a) Recommendations of Technical Committee of RBI
RBI had set up a Technical Committee of RBI on Mobile
Banking which submitted its report in January 2014. The
report has suggested several steps to be taken to increase
mobile banking usage.
The committee has called for steps to be taken to –
• Simplify mobile registration process – to avoid visit
to branch
• Simplify and standardize M-PIN generation process
• Introduce One Time Password (OTP)
• Facilitate merchant payment using just mobile number and M-PIN/OTP on the merchant interface
• Train staff
• Educate and handhold customers
The committee has recommended banks to –
• Implement multiple channels – SMS, USSD, application etc.
• Introduce encrypted SMS in application based mobile
banking
• Simplify P2P transfer – using mobile number and
account/Aadhaar number
• Facilitate use of a single or common USSD number/
SMS short/long codes/IVR number/mobile application across all banks.
• Increase limit of unsecured transaction (without end
to end encryption) from the existing Rs.5000/- to
Rs.10000/- subject to having certain velocity checks
at the bank side. Banks may take the decision as per
their security policy and internal risk management
control measures.
MNOs should provide mobile number from where the
banking transaction has originated.
8
The committee has submitted recommendation for each
type of Mobile Banking Solution as under:
i) R
ecommended solution for SMS based
mobile banking
• Use of common mobile banking application which will
enable the use of encrypted SMS messages for mobile
banking transactions
• Use of common mobile banking application preferably
using STK (SIM Application Tool Kit) applications for
mobile banking.
• Common application to be standard menu-driven and
interactive for use by all banks to avoid need for customer
to remember or know the SMS syntax.
•
Consider adopting STK application which encapsulates and sends encrypted SMS to pre-defined number
- ensures end-to-end security, and can be used for transactions of higher values.
• User not required to know the SMS short code or long
code number
ii) Recommendations for USSD based mobile banking
• Implementation of the TRAI regulations must be expedited by all the stakeholders.
• Banks should tie up with MNOs to offer these services
directly to their customers
• Implementation of common USSD gateway for mobile
banking should be expedited which would help avoid
the need for each bank to tie-up with a large number of
MNOs
iii) R
ecommendations – Application based mobile
banking
• Common mobile application may be developed and distributed, having standard common menu containing the
minimum and most required transaction set.
Recently, RBI has permitted domestic leg of international
money transfer transactions to be processed through IMPS
platform. The banks and financial institutions engaged in
international remittances can now credit the beneficiary
accounts in India real time, if the remitting institution can
carry out Anti Money Laundering (AML) verification real
time.

The range of services being offered by the banks is very
wide and varied. Listed below is the broad range of services:
i) By Banks
1. Services being offered include Bank Account related
activities like Funds Transfer / Instant Funds Transfer
(through IMPS/NEFT)/ Bill Payment / Balance Enquiry
/ Cheque Book Request / Last 5 Transactions / Stop
Cheque Request / Cheque Status Enquiry / Open a Fixed
Deposit / Open Recurring Deposit
2. Other add-ons like Credit Card, Demat, Loan, Mobile/
DTH Recharge, Movie/Air/Bus Ticket, etc.

service providers like m-Pesa, mRupee, Oxigen e-Paisa,
Aircel Mobile Money, Airtel Money etc.
4. Cash deposit/withdrawal facilities thru tie-up with BCs
– dedicated outlets/BC owned outlets. These BCs are
primarily of 2 kinds:
•Having their own BC outlets to cater to various banking/financial companies to sell their products and services. These BCs are generally having their own mobile
based transaction software solution which is connected
to the CBS of the bank/s.
•Outlets dedicated to a particular bank, directly connected to their CBS.
5. Many banks are offering multiple options, based on different mobile communication channels. For example
one large private sector bank offers a bouquet of following options:
•WAP based application compatible with the handset
having GPRS
•USSD based application which is available on all GSM
handsets
• SMS based application - available on all handsets
across all operators but with restricted functions and
amount limit specified by RBI due to insufficient security of this communication channel.
• Call to pay services - IVR5 mobile banking
• ‘Smart Phone’ based mobile banking facility, offering
a wide variety of services, almost comparable to the
facilities available on Internet Banking.
ii) By Non-Banking Entities
1. Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI) Issuers
These non-banking entities are authorized by RBI to offer
mobile wallet & payment services and they operate their
own mobile banking platform (Oxigen, PayMate, Airtel
Money, m-Pesa, mRupee, Aircel Mobile Money etc.). They
are primarily engaged in payment/remittance services.
Some of them have also taken membership of IMPS.
In addition to their PPI business they may also operate
as BC of banks, managing services like account opening,
cash deposit, transfer to bank account (NEFT), IMPS
transfer, balance check, mini statement, airtime recharge,
DTH recharge, rail ticket booking and movie ticket booking. They offer various types of products – some backed
by their own platform and others linked to a bank account.
For example, Airtel (MNO) offers:
• ‘Airtel Money’ which offers 3 different types of accounts –
‘Express’ Account, ‘Power’ Account and ‘Super’ Account.
• Out of these 3 types, ‘Power’ and ‘Super’ Accounts are
KYC verified accounts offered in partnership with banks.
• Cash withdrawal is available only on the Super Account
which is linked to bank account in Axis Bank
2. Other Non-Banking Entities
a. Some companies are not authorized for PPIs but operate
as BCs of banks, offering services like account opening,
cash deposit/withdrawal, funds transfer, balance enquiry etc.
b. Some of them operate dedicated outlets for the banks;
while others have their own independent outlets/BC
networks, providing financial products/services such
as mobile/DTH/toll Recharge, utility payments, insurance, movie tickets etc., operating on their own mobile
based transaction software solution. Examples – Oxigen,
Sub-K, Eko etc.
5 IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a technology that allows a computer to interact with humans through the use of voice and
DTMF tones input via keypad
12
F. TECHNOLOGIES
Banks can use various technologies for mobile banking
services. A brief description of the various modes is given
below:
1. SMS (Short Messaging Service)
a. Technology is available on all types of phones
b. Operates on normal SMS platform using both push and
pull messages
c. Easy to access but requires customer to remember syntax for each activity
d. Cost of SMS borne by the customer (unless bank has
entered into any arrangement with the Mobile Network
Operator)
e. High Security concerns
2. IVR (Inter-active Voice Response)
a. Transaction is through inter-active voice navigation
b. Supported on all types of Mobile Phones
c. Not very convenient and time consuming as the customer is required to dial up to get connected
d. Call charges applicable
e. Need of Back-up human support
3. U
SSD (Unstructured Supplementary
Service Data)
a. Operates on ordinary GSM mobile phone (not available
on CDMA phones)
b. Menu driven form of SMS and hence easy to operate
c. NPCI has setup a common USSD Platform (NUUP)
for all banks instead of each bank having to develop its
own platform. It provides access to all MNOs on GSM
technology through a single integration with NPCI.
It provides mobile banking service on even ordinary
mobile phones as it does not involve downloading of any
application on the phone. It operates with One number
(*99#) for every customer to access – irrespective of the
telecom service provider, mobile handset make or the
region across India and can be used at BC/POS terminals also. Currently 29 Banks have enrolled for this facility. The upper limit on transaction fee payable to MNOs
has been fixed at Rs.1.50 per transaction by TRAI.
Please see the following link for NUUP videos from NPCI:
English: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kycSxtDHJw
s&feature=youtu.be
Hindi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iahZNkyydLs
4. WAP (Wireless Access Protocol)
a. Internet based service
b. Available on all GPRS enabled GSM/CDMA phones
c. Costly to end users as data and roaming charges may

This application is embedded on SIM Card. Transmission
of data can be either SMS or GPRS (data) channel. It can
be used by any customer, irrespective of handset and can be
standard menu-driven, interactive and user-friendly. RBI
has recommended for its introduction in India. Annexure
‘IV’ contains details about the technology.
13
G. SELECTION OF MOBILE
BANKING SOLUTION
Key factors in regard to selection of Mobile Banking
Solution are:
e. Financial strength to bear the capital expenditure
involved in acquiring switch, Micro-ATM etc?
1. Business Plan - Customer Profile, Geographical segment, Product Offering
a. Is it Financial Inclusion or business development; or
both?
b. Which segment of Customers is to be targeted; urban,
rural/semi-urban, unbanked, educated only, upper
layer or all?
c. What products are to be offered – Cash/Non-cash, Self
Operated/Assisted, Other Services – Basic Banking/
Basic Banking + Recharge, Bill Payment etc?
d. If cash deposits/withdrawals cannot be serviced
through the bank branch would the bank like to set
up a BC network and/or Point of Sale (PoS) merchant
network (see RBI circular in annexure) as well?
e. How many customers are expected to be covered by
the mobile banking initiative? Will this base grow
annually? How many transactions are expected from
each customer annually? What types of transactions?
f. Which category(s) customers will be signed up for
mobile banking? Are they in a specific geographic area?
Are they in a certain income category? What areas will
the pilot cover and how will the initiative be scaled
across the bank? What bank infrastructure is currently
available to the target group?
g. What is the mobile network coverage across the
planned deployment areas? Is the signal strength
adequate? Are there frequent outages? What kinds
of phones are normally used by the target customers?
What is their level of literacy?
3. Facility for Cash Deposit/Withdrawal Facility
through Mobile Banking
a. If the mobile banking customers are in the vicinity of
the branches of the bank, it may not be necessary to
look for any additional infrastructure
b. If the mobile banking customers are in remote areas,
bank may consider PACS to provide this facility
(similar to merchants) through PoS connected to the
Mobile Banking Switch
2. Available Resources – IT Infrastructure, Human
Resources, Financial Resources
a. Own Data Centre or Hosted Data Centre or ASP?
b. Is the CBS connected to the NFS either directly or
through an ASP?
c. Whether sponsor bank can permit use of its own Mobile
Banking Switch (in case of RRBs in particular)?
d. Whether trained human resources are available to
manage switch, operations, customer service?
14
4. Mobile Banking Technology
a. For Basic Banking Transactions - Balance Enquiry,
Latest Transaction List, Balance Transfer and for
Cash Deposit/Withdrawal:
i) S
MS based Banking
• Not considered a very safe and convenient mode
as messages are stored, un-encrypted and message
format difficult to remember
• Can be suitable for small value transactions
• Operable on any handset and on all Mobile
Networks
• Banks to use their NPCI connectivity to route
other NPCI network linked banks’ accounts
ii) U
SSD based Banking
• Suitable only if the Mobile Network Operators
in the area use GSM technology. Subscribers of
CDMA mobiles would not be able to avail the facility.
• Session based communication, relatively safe and
convenient mode of communication
• No Transaction Limit specified by RBI
• Operable only on GSM handsets and does not
require a “smart” phone
• Operable only on the GSM Mobile Networks operating in the area
• Banks to link to NUUP of NPCI to provide interbank remittance facility
b. For Mobile Banking with value added services like
Mobile Recharge, Bills Payment, FD request etc.,
the banks opt for Mobile Application based solution.
These solutions require downloading of the Software
Application on the Mobile Phone and therefore only
those customers would be able to avail these facilities
who have “smart” phones.
5. Mobile Banking Model
a. If the bank is operating its CBS and Card Payment
Switch on ASP Model, the mobile banking solution
should also be on ASP basis.
b. If the bank has CBS at its own Data Centre or on hosted
Data Centre but Card Payment Switch on ASP Model,
bank may explore both the options i.e. whether to have
mobile banking on hosted CBS or to engage ASP.
c. If the bank has its own Data Centre and its own Card
Payment Switch, the bank may find it more beneficial
to acquire and manage the mobile banking switch.
6. Cost Estimates
a. Some of the cost heads apply to all models, like Annual
S.No. Cost Head Technical Support, Training, and Connectivity to CBS
& IMPS etc. On the other hand, other costs will vary
upon model like cost of solution, transaction fee, providing BC services etc.
b. The cost of acquisition of mobile banking solution
depends on a number of factors like type of solution,
volume of business, customization, existing CBS and
NPCI connectivity scenario, acquisition model (ownership or ASP) etc. At present mobile banking on ASP
being only at the evolving stage, the cost estimate can
only be bank and products specific. Even a ballpark
figure would be a wild guess work only. The illustrative list of various cost heads is given below.
Aforesaid information will help the bank to take decisions
with regard to:
- Selection of the target group and geographic areas
- Selection of the relevant mobile banking model
- Selection of the right mix of banking and non-banking
services
- Selection of the mobile banking solution

H. SELECTION OF Mobile
Solution provider(s)
The Solution may be used for various financial inclusion
and mobile banking initiatives of the bank. Bank may use
it for BC operations as well. Therefore, the solution provider is expected to have products, services and capabilities to provide an end-end comprehensive infrastructure
to implement mobile banking solutions and services for
the bank. The technology solution/platform is expected to
integrate with the bank’s core banking system and financial
switches, integrate with mobile network operators, and
integrate with various third party aggregators and service
providers for seamless connectivity.
Banks may consider following key criteria for selection of
the solution provider:
1. Core Functionality
a. Banking and Non-Banking Transactions – most of
the solutions/vendors support basic banking transactions such as account openings, deposits, withdrawals,
balance enquiries and remittances/transfers. Equally
important is support/availability of non-banking transactions. Though these services may not be immediately
needed, it will provide added value to customers later
and become a revenue source for the bank/BC agent.
b. Assisted and Self Transactions – availability of both
assisted transaction and self-transaction models.
c. Ownership and Hosted Models – the mobile banking
service provider must have the ability to offer the mobile
banking solution in both models – ownership and ASP –
to enable the evolving needs of the bank.
d. Cash Dispensation Operations – some banking transactions can be fully done by the customer using his/
her mobile phone, while other transactions will need
the assistance of an agent. This is especially the case
for cash based transactions. A merchant agent network
may be needed in remote areas to provide these assisted
services.
e. Integration and Standards – capabilities for integration with CBS, IMPS, UIDAI, other banks, switches,
merchants, aggregators and gateways etc., to ensure
16
seamless operations.
2. Technology Maturity
a. Multiple Service Delivery Channels – availability of
multiple service delivery channels (SMS, IVR, USSD,
and App etc.) to provide flexibility to bank to select suitable channel(s).
b. MNO Carrier Agnosticity - availability of services for
customers through any mobile network operator.
c. Compatibility – ability and ease with which the solution can be linked with additional services, functionality,
channels and partners.
d. Scalability and Replicability – robustness of the technology architecture, scalability of the solution and the
ease of extending the solution to other participating
banks.
e. Hosted Model – support of both ownership and hosted/managed models for the mobile banking platform
solution. Flexibility to switch from hosted to ownership
model or vice versa.
3. Vendor’s Credentials
a. Product Roadmap – future product / services that will
be introduced by the mobile banking service provider.
b. Costing and Commercials – total cost of ownership for
the selected technology / service as well as the ability to
price based on usage.
c. Mobile Banking Service Provider Experience - prior
implementation and project experience by the mobile
banking service provider.
4. Illustrative List of Mobile Solution
Providers
Currently following Vendors are providing mobile banking solutions as per required specifications. There may
be several others also who might have appropriate solu-
tions. Some of these Vendors may be in a position to be
Application Service Providers. Banks should explore all
available options to select the appropriate Vendor:
a. Finacus
b. Sarvatra Technology
c. Infrasoft Technologies
d. Financial Software and Systems (FSS)
e. C-Edge Technologies
f. FIS
g. Saraswat Infotech
h. Olive Crypto
i. Infosys
j. TCS
k. Paymate
l. GI Tech
m. Euronet

I. PROJECT COST ESTIMATES
The total cost of the mobile banking technology solution
can be categorized into following 3 broad areas –
banking solution, whether owned by the bank or not.
Following are its sub-components:
a) Acquisition or initial set up costs to acquire the solution,
b) Commissioning costs to configure and connect the
solution to banking systems and payment switches and
gateways, and
c) Operating costs involved in transacting and supporting
day to day mobile banking transactions.
a. Customization Charges
Charges are for customizing the Solution to have features/functionality and a standard user interface (UI)
as per individual bank’s requirements.
b. Channel Support Charges
Some Vendors may not be supporting all technologies
(SMS, IVR, USSD, WAP and Apps.), and therefore may
charge a fee to induct such technology.
c. Development of Additional Modules
Usually, functionalities required by the bank are available in the Solution. In case there are unique requirements, the vendor may charge additional fees to develop
these additional functionalities. The fees is based on
actual time and effort to be expended by the vendor.
d. BC Outlet/POS/Mobile Devices
In case the bank opts for BC outlets or provides PoS or
Mobile Devices to Agents, these costs would be additional.
There are two primary models for implementing a mobile
banking solution at the bank:
a. Ownership Model –
• The entire solution is purchased, owned, hosted (either
internally or through a 3rd party data center) and supported by the bank.
• The Setup cost may include customization cost, connectivity to CBS/MPS etc.
• Additional cost may include training, roll-out support,
annual maintenance/technical support etc.
b. ASP (pay per use)Model –
• In this model, the Vendor /ASP owns the mobile solution which is hosted either at its own Data Central or at
a 3rd party Data Center.
• The bank does not incur any capital expenses and pays
the ASP an annual fee and/or transaction fees depending on usage.
• The bank may have to, however, incur the initial set-up
and connectivity costs.
• There may be a minimum threshold defined by the ASP
for number of transactions or customers.
• There may also be vendors offering revenue model.
• The Setup cost may include customization cost, connectivity to CBS/MPS etc.
• Additional cost may include training, roll-out support,
annual maintenance/technical support etc.
Various cost components under different Cost Heads are
explained herein below:
1. Acquisition Cost
This is the cost incurred by the bank to acquire the mobile
18
2. Commissioning Costs
One-time cost to cover configuration and connectivity to
other systems such as CBS, IMPS etc. It also includes the
installation of the solution and associated training to the
bank staff.
3. Operating Costs
The fees charged by the ASP (pay-per-use) model - per customer or transaction. The fee may involve a fixed cost and a
variable cost (such as telecom charges). Some vendors may
also have an annual fee in-addition to a per-transaction fee.
4. Other Costs:
It includes the following items:
a. Lock-in Period
Along with the fixed fees or minimum guarantees, vendors may also stipulate a lock-in period i.e. the contract
for a minimum number of years, or hold the rates valid
for a specified period.
b. Commissions and Revenue Share
Some vendors also stipulate sharing of a portion of commission revenues for remittance/money transfer/mer-
chant transactions. Some vendors do not have a revenue
sharing arrangement at all, and let the bank decide the
quantum of commissions to charge/receive.
c. Support Fees
Some vendors charge fee to provide technical support,
business transaction support, reversals, reconciliation
and other end of period processing support. Generally,
the vendors bundle these charges into the transaction
charges.
d. Telecom Fees
The telecom charges may be based on each transaction
or may be on actual basis. Some vendors bundle this
with the transaction charges. Additionally, the leased
line charges for connectivity between the CBS and the
mobile banking solution are payable by the bank.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
The total cost of ownership (over an appropriate number
of years, say 3 years or 5 years) of the solution based on various cost components explained above needs to be arrived
at to undertake comparative analysis of various solutions.
Following factors may impact total cost of ownership of
each solution:
1. Estimated volumes
2. Minimum guarantees
3. Revenue sharing
4. Vendor’s capabilities in respect of connectivity to external systems like CBS, IMPS etc.
19
J. OPERATING PLAN
a. Training & Support
A well-defined training plan for all bank staff involved
covering topics such as product, technology, architecture,
transaction process, channels, reconciliation, settlement
etc. is required to be provided to the bank personnel who
are involved in day to day operations and support of the
mobile banking solution.
b. Process
User manuals, operating process, standard operating procedures, reconciliation and settlement etc., are required to
be defined and documented. The solution provider needs
to provide detailed document depicting architecture, technical specifications and configuration etc. for various modules.
20
c. Support
24 X 7 technical support for the software technology
implementation are to be provided by the solution provider. The support mechanism should be well defined and
documented with clear turn-around time lines.
d. Settlement
A well-defined settlement process and mechanism for
reversals and charge backs between the various stakeholders such as BC, agents and interbank transactions should
be in place. The settlement cycle (end of day, weekly,
monthly) should also be well defined and documented.
e. Marketing & Customer Awareness
The bank may have to design a plan for creating customer
awareness and demand for the service through its branch
network and campaigns.
K. ROADMAP FOR IMPLEMENTATION
1. Seek internal approval from the Board for Mobile
Banking Facility to its customers, specifying the type of
arrangement
2. Secure IMPS membership for Inward Remittances (as
Beneficiary) for which there is no need for RBI approval for RRBs/DCCBs and for installation of any Mobile
Banking Solution
as explained earlier) or through sponsorship from a
bank having membership of IMPS, complying with the
sponsoring bank’s requirements like opening of current
account, maintaining balance etc.
9. Apply to NPCI for membership of IMPS
3. Select appropriate Mobile Banking Solution
10. Get the Mobile Numbers of their customers linked to
their respective account for the purpose of providing
Mobile Banking Services
4. Tie-up with Mobile Banking Solution Provider on either
ownership basis or on ASP Model
11. Lay down operational guidelines including customer
support services
5. Obtain Mobile Banking approval from RBI
12. Complete end-to-end testing of the solution and Pilot
launch with select account holders
6. Have the Mobile Application customized for their bank
13. Have the CISA Audit done for the entire setup
7. Arrange linking of the CBS with the Mobile Banking
Switch
14. Release to account holders upon successful Pilot launch
8. Seek Membership of IMPS – either Direct (if eligible

Annexure ‘IV’STK Application on Operator SIM
This application can be embedded on operator SIM and
can be distributed to customers by the MNOs. Keys necessary for encryption are stored in the SIM. Transmission
of data can be either SMS or GPRS (data) channel. STK
application on operator SIM can be used by any customer, irrespective of handset. The STK application can be
standard menu-driven, interactive and user-friendly. This
technology is not yet in use in India.
The technology has following advantages:
• Supports all standard phones and SIMs
• Secure SMS and data communication channels usage
30
• Customers, merchants, BC agents of any bank can transact through this interface.
Following challenges need to be addressed to adopt this
technology:
• For the existing SIMs, the MNO needs to support the
dynamic STK so that the application can be downloaded
over the air (OTA) which is technically feasible but may
be difficult for the older version of the SIM’s.
• The SIM cards (particularly the older ones) need to have
required space to store this application.
