CCAvenue enables e-NACH Mandates for automated recurring payments

In sync with its broad strategy of streamlining and automating digital payments wherever possible, CCAvenue has introduced e-NACH mandates as a payment mode for online businesses in India. E-Mandates provide an efficient web-based solution for facilitating interbank, high volume digital transactions that are repetitive in nature. This RBI-approved service is a major initiative of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) that involves a vast network of leading banks, financial institutions, corporates and government entities, operating as a cohesive unit.
Generally, businesses and their customers face difficulties while setting up, initiating and proceeding with recurring transactions for disbursements such as insurance premium, SIPs, loan EMIs, and school fees.
For instance, to opt for an EMI loan scheme, Mr. Gopal Krishnan may need to fill up and submit a physical form to an employee who would process it manually or forward it to a network of colleagues. These manual efforts make the entire procedure time consuming and prone to errors much to the dissatisfaction of Mr. Gopal Krishnan, the customer.
The conventional procedures for recurring payments, in general, are widely considered to be lengthy, tedious and complicated. E-Mandates have been recently introduced in the country with the objective of overcoming these challenges.
