/ -- With a steep rise in the number of people making digital payments amid the lockdown, incidents of glitches in payment processing, hacking and data breaches have also increased tremendously.
India has witnessed not only a surge in the number of transactions but the number of downloads of digital payment platforms have also almost doubled. According to a research report published by CLSA, these numbers had already jumped three-fold over the last two years to 3 billion transactions a month. This is because of many first-time users, who were earlier not very keen on making digital payments are now due to social distancing measures, have to pay online for buying essentials.
