Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Centralized Lead Management System (CLMS)
Concept Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a tool that facilitates the field
staff in achieving Banks Business goals by acquiring new customers &
retaining existing customers. This helps in cross-selling and up-selling to the
existing customers. The main objective of CRM is to capture the details of
prospective/ existing customers in a systematic manner.
CRM solution is implemented in all the FGMOs, Circle Offices and selected
branches. The List of CRM enabled branches is available in CRM Home Page
in DAILY LOGIN REPORT. Any new branch can be enabled or existing
branch can be disabled by our division on the recommendations of the Circle
Head.
Concept of Cross Cross Selling: Selling additional products to existing customers is called
selling and Up cross selling. If we sell asset side products to a liability side customer or
Selling even a related asset side product to an existing asset side customer e.g.
house repair loan to housing loan customer, it is called cross selling.
Up Selling: It is a sales technique, whereby customers are offered additional
product, upgrades, or other add ons in the same product category. It
involves marketing of more of profitable services and products. Up selling can
also be done by simply exposing the customer to other options he or she may
not have considered previously.

3. Centralized Lead Management System (CLMS):
Initially the primary source of lead for CRM was branch walk-in customers
who visit the Branch offices or having interactions with the branch officials.
Circle Offices/ Field functionaries were scouting for new business in their
respective areas by meeting prospective customers and generating the leads
manually.
But this method alone was not sufficient in todays competitive scenario.
Moreover it was not possible to reach all the customers/ prospective
customers to meet their requirement by offering other banking products and
services. The leads generated through ADCs are 'warm' leads of people who
are already interested in Bank's products and have already made an active
effort to reach out to the Bank. Hence, the conversion ratios are likely to be
significant.
Keeping in mind the necessity to reach larger number of customers/ non-

customers, Centralised Lead Management System (CLMS) was implemented
in CRM. This provides the facility to the customers/ prospective customers to
apply for availing bank products through the ADCs at their convenient time.
In CLMS, leads are captured through the following ADCs:-
PNB Website-www.pnbindia.in/ www.pnbnet.org.in

Internet Banking Service (IBS)
Mobile Banking Service (MBS)

SMS
ATM
Call Centre
Process Flow:
a) All the leads received through ADCs are directed to the Marketing Officer at
circle office.
b) The designated Marketing Officers at circle offices route these leads to the
concerned CRM Branch or Business Development Executives for processing
after talking to the customer and capturing additional details of the customer
requirement in CRM system.
c) The Marketing Officers then follow up with concerned branches/officials for

conversion of all such leads.
d) The designated marketing officer at Circle office is responsible for closure

of all such leads.
e) In case the leads remain unattended for 2 days (excluding creation date of
lead), automated escalation report of Open leads is sent to Sr. officer in-
charge (AGM/CM) of Marketing at Circle Offices.
f) In case the lead remains unattended for a total of 3 days (1 day with Sr.
Officer at Circle Office excluding creation date of lead) report of Open leads
gets escalated to FGM office-Senior officer in-charge of Marketing
(DGM/AGM) and in case lead still remains unattended for total 5 days
automated escalation report is sent to GM/DGM, Marketing Division at Head
office.

relevant circle office by typing CO_**** where **** denotes the D. No.
of the Circle.
Move to top right of the frame & click on MORE & click on
Redetermine Parties. Select reason for transfer from drop down and
click twice on SAVE (top left side of the frame)
4. Campaign
Through the campaign management feature of CRM, the customer

segmentation strategy is adopted to facilitate marketing of products and
services to target customers of the Bank. The customers data are collected
through external sources like agencies/ associations/ yellow-pages/ mela/
exhibition etc. and it is updated in CRM and leads are created. Followings two
types of campaigns are used in CRM:
a) Mass Lead Campaign
Leads are created from the existing customer database for cross selling of
other bank products and leads are forwarded to respective CRM enabled
branches or Circle Offices. Processing of Mass Lead is same as the
processing of CLMS leads.
b) Mail Campaign
Emails are sent to the target customers/ non-customers about various Banks
products for selling the products to the interested customers. On receipt of
request from customer, leads are created in system for further follow up.
5. Activity Management
Activity Management feature includes planning of activities such as

appointments, sales call, telephone call, visit, reminders and general
preparatory tasks such as presentation, brochure sent, and proposal sent for
making a sale. This functionality may be utilized as a diary for branch and
circle office users where they can plan their daily routine activities. Several
interactions between the bank official and customers can be recorded as
business activities for prospective/ existing customers. These activities can be
converted into Leads in CRM system. Thus Activity management not only
provides recording & monitoring of the visits but also helps in taking it to a
logical conclusion.
6 . Centralized Grievance Redressal Management System (CGRMS)
Complaint handling and Service request from the Customers as well as Non-
customers of the bank are fragmented in two different segments of Customer
Service. In order to reduce the resolution time in respect of complaints and to
facilitate a utility for all concerned, a solution in the form of this centralized
system is implemented.

complainant based on the contact information provided by the
complainant and he is the incharge of the closure of the Complaint/
Service Request.
c) Complaint/Requests pertaining to non-CRM branches and recorded by
Call Centre/Customer Care Centre,HO is assigned to the Circle
Offices for the branches in their jurisdiction. The other procedure of

Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) ( Circular No: ITD/CBS/09/2015)
RTGS (Real Time Gross settlement) is on-line system through which inter-bank fund transfers
take place in India electronically. The transfer mechanism is controlled, monitored and settled by
Reserve Bank of India. Transactions are settled transaction by transaction throughout the day
during stipulated timings. Our Banks product of RTGS is known as PNB Insta Remit.
RBI has upgraded the existing RTGS system to NG-RTGS (New Generation RTGS) which is

based on ISO 20022 format. This was implemented by the bank on 19-10-2013 using QNG
mechanism where conversion happens outside of CBS. However, RBI mandate was to do away
with a separate convertor and generate ISO 20022 format messages from banks CBS system.
To implement this, bank has come out with FP (Finacle Payments), wherein RTGS messages
would be directly pushed to RBI when verification would be done by branch user. The new
system is more robust, user friendly and secure. Subsequently, all payment systems (like NEFT,
NACH, SWIFT) would be covered under FP.
Types of The outward messages sent by the branches are of following two types:
messages
sent 1. NCP messages (Normal Customer Payment Request): i.e. the
through messages to be sent on behalf of the customers in which the debit A/c
RTGS has to be a customer account.
2. NIP messages (Normal Interbank Payment Request) i.e. the messages
to be sent by the Bank for Inter Bank remittance purposes. In this type of
message the debit account cannot be a customer account. It has to be
an Office account.

CENTRAL NATIONAL ARCHIVAL SYSTEM OF NPCI FOR ALL THE THREE CTS GRIDS
( CIRCULAR NO. HO/ITDNONCBS/14/2014)
Reserve Bank of India has implemented Cheque Truncation System across the country in
following three Grids:--
a. Northern Grid,
b. Southern Grid
c. Western Grid
Our Bank is participating in CTS clearing at all the three grids viz. Southern, Western and
Northern Grid.
NATIONAL ARCHIVAL SYSTEM FOR ALL THREE GRIDS

National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has established a National Archival System
for all the three Grids which has been made live on 22.04.2014The Centralized platform for

National Archival System is available to the Banks at no additional cost till March 2017.
Currently the cheque images & reports are available from February 2013. In view of the
National archival system of NPCI for CTS clearing data and images, there is no need for the
Bank to maintain its own Archival system.
The National Archival system provides following facilities to the member Banks:
(i) On demand retrieval of images and data

(ii) On line retrieval through web-based access
(iii) Offline/ bulk retrieval using media delivery/help desk call.
In case of need for the old data / images (up to 10 years) of CTS clearing, branches can obtain
the same from National archival system of NPCI through their Grid service branches as per
procedure mentioned below:
SALIENT FEATURES OF NATIONAL ARCHIVAL SYSTEM

A. Access to National Archival has been provided to our Bank w.e.f 20.05.2014 from all the
three grid locations.
B. We have nominated Grid Service Branches at Delhi (D-116500), Mumbai (D-197500) &
Chennai (D-197400) for accessing the archival data of NPCI.
C. Users have already been created for Grid locations i.e. Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai for this
purpose.
D. The Central archival system shall also provide MIS for the images and data.
E. Screenshots for accessing the cheques and retrieval of reports are attached as annexure- II
and annexure-III respectively.
F. Parameters required to access the National Archival System are as under:

Adoption of Uniform Holiday Calendar under Cheque Truncation System (CTS)
1. Under grid-based CTS clearing, all cheques drawn on bank branches falling in the grid
jurisdiction are treated and cleared as local cheques on T+1 basis. As such the uniform holiday
arrangement will further enhance the customer service through faster realization of cheques
even on holidays in respective states.
2. Therefore RBI has put in place the uniform holiday arrangement at the three CTS locations as
under:

i. The CTS centres in all the three Grids will adopt RTGS holidays as uniform holiday for the
respective Grid.
ii. CTS operations will be closed on such days when ALL the participating states in the Grid are
observing holidays, even though RTGS is working on such days.
iii. The president of the respective CTS location will notify the list of such uniform holidays well
in advance to enable the participating banks to put in place inward clearing processing
infrastructure at the grid location.
The above arrangement is implemented since 07.10.2013.
3. Further, Bank may approach the President of the Clearing House at CTS location for blocking
the presentation drawn on bank branches in the State (s) which is/ are observing holiday.
4. The Blockage function in CTS System has already been designed to handle different state
holidays.
5. In exceptional cases, where the reference to base branch is required and the base branch is
closed on account of local holiday, the drawee bank at the grid location may return the
instrument to the presenting bank under return reason code 88 with the description need
reference to the drawee branch which is closed on account of local holidays/issues.
6. RBI has further clarified that on occasions when banks are unable to process the inward
clearing pertaining to specific locations due to exceptional circumstances, they can approach
the President of the Clearing House at CTS location for extension of return / blocking the
presentation drawn on such locations.

(UPL_FLG) field has to be kept Y.
For preparing the customer data upload file, File Generation Tool (in excel) may be used
[Annexure-IV]. Use sub-option F in FCMUPL to generate File Header for file generation
tool. Paste this header on first line of the tool.
Fill the payment data in fields having Names/titles and remaining fields with title NA
have to be kept blank. The first field would be the Primary Key to extract and populate
the data during entry in FCMBR. So, values in this field should be Unique. The maximum
length of individual field is 17 characters only and no special characters are allowed.
On completion of data entry, generate the upload file. Kindly note that the file name
should be in Capital letters. For uploading this file in Finacle, use sub-option G in
FCMUPL.
Status file of records uploaded successfully in Finacle will be available in PR option.
Download the success file using PTW and compare with upload file to ensure that all
records have been processed and uploaded successfully.
When branch initiates payment in FCMBR and enters Unique Reference Number (in first field),
the system will populate the remaining values. If this value is not present in database, system
will give an error message.
For various forms user IDs & Circulars, you can access the portal through Non CBS
Applications DBD- CMS or https://10.192.15.123/cmsweb/

Business Continuity Plan
BCP (Business Continuity Plan) for CBS Branches: With a view to provide uninterrupted
customer service in the event of intra-day loss of connectivity, the Bank has implemented BCP
Automation Project in all the branches. A separate BCP Server has been installed by the bank
at Data Centre as well as at all Circle Offices and branches also. The crucial BCP data (viz.
Balance, Stop Payment and Signature Files) of CA/CC/OD/SF Accounts is made available to
the BCP PCs of the branches at predefined time intervals during the day automatically. Now the
branches can view the latest balance Report, Stop Payments details as well as signatures at the
branch level. Using this BCP Server data the branches can perform limited functions at branch if
the connectivity is not there. However these limited services can be provided by any branch to
the account holders of that SOL only.
Salient Features of BCP Software:
In offline mode, the BCP PC acts as server and other PCs can be connected as clients
to it.
A user can log in to the software in the offline mode to carry out the transactions during
absence of connectivity at branch and upload the latest BCP Data to the database for
carrying out the Cash and Transfer transactions.
While doing transactions, the user can view the signatures and total debits in a day in a
particular account.
Stopped Cheques are not permitted to be paid.
The software prompts for an undertaking if payments in an account during the day
exceed the prescribed limit of Rs.15000/- as per the extant BCP guidelines. If the Total
debit amount exceeds 15000/- limit in the selected A/c, the user can do the debit
transaction but only after taking undertaking for the same.
Balance, Stop Payment and Signature (One Time as well as Incremental) in respect of
CA/CC/OD/SF Accounts are transferred to the Branch BCP PC as per following time
schedule:
o Balance Files 8.00 a.m. 1.00 p.m. 6.00 p.m.
o Stop Payment Files 9.00 p.m. (on previous day)
o Incremental Signature (0nce during the day)
As the BCP data pertaining to specific branch is transmitted to the BCP PC at branch
level, No Inter- Sol transaction is allowed through BCP Tool.
Circle Offices may monitor the status of Cash Txns. done by branches through BCP Tool
by generating the following report: MIS Server -> PNBRPT -> 9/119

For any query, Please contact BCP Helpdesk: bcphelpdeskho@pnb.co.in or at 011-
23765158
The Transactions in the BCP Automation can be started after the Master Upload and Enabling
the transactions for the General Users. The person responsible for the master upload will
ensure that no other user has logged-in. All the latest files will be uploaded and then the
transactions will commence on his enabling the transactions.
Transactions Menu:- The BCP Automation Tool can be used to do the following type of
transactions:
Cash Transactions :
Deposit
Withdrawal
Transfer Transactions
Transactions Verification/Modification
1) Cash Deposit Transaction- Accept cash from the customers and enter the receipt
vouchers in BCP system in offline mode. There is maker checker concept & one user will
enter these vouchers and officer will authorize them. The system generates the offline
transaction number which is to be noted on the face of the vouchers.
2) Cash Withdrawal Transaction:
A. For payments amounting up to Rs. 15000/- : Depending upon the Last Balance in the
customer a/c, on request of the customer branch may allow payment up to a maximum
of Rs. 15000/- only, without obtaining any letter of undertaking from the customer.
B. For payments exceeding Rs. 15000/- : Branch to obtain letter of undertaking from the
customer on the prescribed proforma before making payment. Any amount can be paid
subject to availability of balance in customers account as per BCP server. The payment in
above case shall be made on case to case basis depending upon the merits of the case.
Before making any payment, the authorized official/CTO shall physically verify signatures
from the BCP server / the specimen signature slip available at the branch.
The CTO will make payment within their existing vested financial powers after verifying the
signatures and shall manually record the payments in his long book. The CTO will also enter the
cash payments on BCP server in offline mode when the connectivity is not available. The BCP
server generates an offline transaction number which must be recorded on the face of the
payment instrument. This shall be verified by the officer in offline mode. The cashier shall make
payments exceeding CTO limit and record all payments in his long book. In case of disruption of
services at branch, it shall not make any Inter SOL payments. In case above payment results in
overdraft in the customer account, the branch Manager shall report the matter to CO and take
steps for getting the account balance to normal.
TRANSFER TRANSACTIONS- Transfer transactions on the accounts of the concerned SOL

can also be entered & verified in offline mode by the CTO & officer respectively. BCP tool also
provides an option to generate the data file as per finacle format. These files are directly
generated upon running the option to generate file in C:\upload directory on the same PC where

BCP is installed. Upon restoration of connectivity these files can be directly uploaded in CBS
using Menu option TTUM for transfer entries and CTUM for cash transactions. This will
generate one transfer entry and one cash transaction. The branch is required to post and verify
these two transactions and proceed for the day end process.
eports Menu under BCP tools provide the options for generating reports of cash transactions,
transfer transactions and both for all the transactions between two dates. The user can view the
following reports:
1. All transactions
2. Only Verified transactions,
3. Unverified Transactions,
4. TTUM Transactions, and
5. Deleted transactions.
Please note that once the transactions have been entered & verified in BCP the same will
not be required to be entered in CBS again.
For further details on Operational Guidelines of BCP, refer e-Circulars website.

What Is "Phishing"?
"Phishing" refers to a person or a group of cyber-criminals who create an imitation or

copy of an existing legitimate Web pages to trick users into providing sensitive personal
information.
Here e-mail fraudsters "phish" (fish) for web users' identities.
Modus Operandi
Phishers often use a well-known Bank, online retailer, or a credit card company name
and launch their fake website very similar to the real site.
Their objective is to convince customers to share their Customer ID, Password, that the
phishers then use to commit fraud.
How Phishers operate ?
The vast majority of phishing scams consist of a forged e-mail message that links to a
forged web page or site. The forged web pages usually contain a form to capture the
information that the scammers want to use to commit fraud.
To increase the number of responses, phishers send a large no of spam mails which
include upsetting or exciting statements in their emails. They want people to react
immediately and respond with the desired information without thinking.
How you can avoid Phishing attacks ?
Treat all e-mail messages with suspicion.
Detect emails for a possible phishing scam.
They may appear to come from the Bank or a trusted friend but are actually designed to
trick you into downloading a virus to your computer or directing you to a Web site to
disclose sensitive or personal information .
What you see in the body of the message can be forged, the sender's address or return
address can be forged, and the header can also be manipulated to disguise its true
origin.

VISHING
The term is a combination of "voice" and phishing. Voice phishing exploits the public's trust in
landline telephone services. Voice phishing is typically used to steal credit card numbers or
other information used in identity theft schemes from individuals
a) The criminal either configures a war dialer to call phone numbers in a given region or
accesses a legitimate voice messaging company with a list of phone numbers stolen from a
financial institution.
b) Typically, when the victim answers the call, an automated recording, often generated with a
text to speech synthesizer, is played to alert the consumer that their credit card has had
fraudulent activity or that their bank account has had unusual activity.
c) The message instructs the consumer to call the following phone number immediately. The
same phone number is often shown in the spoofed caller ID and given the same name as the
financial company they are pretending to represent.
d) When the victim calls the number, it is answered by automated instructions to enter their
credit card number or bank account number on the key pad.
e) Once the consumer enters their credit card number or bank account number, the visher has
the information necessary to make fraudulent use of the card or to access the account.
The call is often used to harvest additional details such as security PIN, expiration date, date of
birth, etc. Although the use of automated responders and war dialers is preferred by the
vishers, there have been reported cases where human operators play an active role in these
scams, trying to persuade the victims.
KEYLOGGERS
Besides being used for legitimate purposes, they may be used to collect sensitive
information that includes: Usernames & Passwords , Credit Card Numbers , Person
Information such as Name, Address, etc.

(POS) TERMINALS
(Owner Division HO CCD-MERCHANT ACQUIRING BUSINESS)
With the growing needs of the customers and acceptance of the

cards at various merchant establishments, in February 2010,
Bank launched the scheme of providing PoS terminals to the
merchant establishments and integration of Internet Payment
Gateway. The facility is available on Pan India basis.
With a view to extend the Merchant Acquiring Business through
installation of PoS terminals and integration of Internet Payment
Gateway, Bank has tie-up arrangement for providing end-to-
end solution in managing the PoS network of the Bank.
In the whole transaction cycle where payment is made using
credit or debit card, the participants involved are - cardholder,
card issuing bank, card network i.e. VISA /
MasterCard/RuPay etc., merchant that accepts the cards for
payment and the Bank facilitating the whole transaction i.e.
Merchant Acquiring Bank.
The Merchant Acquiring Bank plays a major role in the card
payment collection & settlement process. The Bank manages
the complete transaction done at the Merchant establishment or

(EDC) machine popularly known as Swipe machine at the
merchant establishment facilitates the card payments at
Merchant establishments.

Terminal machine is a technological instrument, installed at the
Merchant Establishment (ME) to facilitate payments
towards sale of goods or services to customers in a

/ GPRS/ mobile POS and when the card is swiped and the
Merchant enters the amount, the card holder will be asked to
insert PIN of his debit/credit card. The transaction will be

VISA/MasterCard/RuPay network for authorization. The Switch
of the card-issuing Bank authorizes the transaction by debiting
the cardholders debit/credit card account. Once the
authorization is obtained, charge slip is generated, which

completes the transaction after which the Merchant delivers
goods/services to the customer. More than one terminal can be
provided at the merchant establishment for use in different
sections of the shop / showroom/ business establishments, as
per request.
Internet Payment Internet Payment Gateway (IPG) is an e-commerce
Gateway application service that authorizes payments for e-
business and online retailers, utility service providers etc.

MERCHANT Guidelines for processing of application for installation of PoS terminals
ACQUIRING are circulated vide Cir. No. CCD-MAB 05 Dt. 17.11.2016.
BUSINESS
CIRCULAR NO. In view of the sudden spurt in demand of PoS terminals across the
CCD-MAB country and the need of speedy installation, present system of
07/2016 processing of applications has been reviewed.
The following points, which need to be strengthened along with the

modifications in the existing process to reduce overall turnaround time.
Enrolment of As per the present system Branch generates the leads, key into the
customer system through Non-CBS functionality on Finacle which is passed on to
the WorldLine, who will contact the customers and collect the required
documents. Since representative of M/s Worldline is a shared member
working for other Institutions as well and in many cases is not familiar to
the Merchant, there is possibility of delay in collecting required
documents.
To address this issue, henceforth the complete set of application forms

and supporting documents be procured by a branch official. The dossier
after a preliminary check shall be submitted to respective Circle Offices,
along with the reference number generated through the Non-CBS
application on Finacle.
Processing of As of now the processing of application is done centrally at the office of
Application M/s Worldline, Mumbai, which is hub of their activities. The processing

team at central office of Atos Worldline, besides processing application
of our bank handles applications sourced by other banks as well which
has been found to be the main reason for delay.
In order to address this issue M/s WorldLine has been advised to put in
a team of dedicated officials at Circle Office locations. This team will
scrutinize the applications supported documents, perform required data
entry and pass on the details of duly scrutinized applications to their
Headquarters for Risk Analysis & approval. They would also undertake
activities post approval. The applications having any discrepancy or not
supported by required documents will be handed over to Circle Offices.
Official, who in turn will coordinate with sourcing branches to rectify
discrepancies.
Installation of In the present set up of installation of machines is being done by a

machines technician authorized by ATOS, WorldLine. It has been experienced
that the technician being a shared resource (working for other financial
institutions also) {An unrelated party to the merchant} has limitations.
Further the technician being an unrelated party does not receive
cooperation from merchant for expeditious installation.
Accordingly, it has been decided that Circle Office shall nominate an

officer preferably an IT Officer who will coordinate with ATOS, Worldline
technician dedicated for PNB stationed at each Circle Office.
The Nodal Officer constituting the team at Circle Office shall coordinate
with branches for speedy submission of documents/information
supervising the processing of applications of service provider and also
supervise the installation of machines. Thus they will have complete
tracking of the process. Further the vendor is being advised to maintain
adequate inventory of machines at Circle Office level itself. So that the
time spent on installation of machines is minimized.
The branches are advised to submit application forms along with the
supporting documents to respective Circle Offices which shall hence
forth acting as hubs for processing and further activities for PoS
business.

Irregular Irregular Accounts Dash board has been created with the objective of providing
Account standardised MIS, meaningful visualisation through charts / graphical
Dashboard representation at various levels, on Irregular accounts. This dash board provides

comprehensive details of every irregular account including recovery data up to
previous day. The main purpose of Irregular Accounts Dash board is to facilitate
field functionaries to take timely corrective steps and arrest fresh slippage to NPA.
It has three parts :
Part I has the summary position of irregular accounts with number of

accounts, outstanding amount and irregular amount. This data can be viewed
through 4 tabs:
Amount wise (up to 10 lacs, 10 lacs to 50 lacs, 50 lacs to 1 cr. & above 1
cr)
Age wise (viz. 1-30days, 31-60days, 61-90 days, etc.),
Non-financial reason (like SRM not renewed) summary view.
Another tab with an option to view summary report, i.e the Zone wise,
Circle wise summary for any given combination (single page report) with
an option to view amount wise, age wise, sector wise & non-financial
reason wise is made available for assessing the impact.
Part II provides graphical view of the summary data. The charts provide the
percentage of various segments of irregular accounts in terms of age, amount,
sector and non financial reasons based on number and amount of irregular
accounts. This facilitates the teams to identify the critical area and draw plan of
action for recovery.
Part III provides the list of accounts, which are otherwise regular but is part

companies. The NPCI handles all the technicality of this USSD service.

languages along with Hindi and English. Therefore, it is the best banking solution for every
common man.

MERCHANT ACQUIRING BUSINESS THROUGH PNB AADHAAR PAY
In order to align ourselves with initiatives of the government and its own vision of making the
Bank a Digital Bank it has been decided to launch PNB Aadhaar Pay, which provides
opportunity to Merchants to join cashless transaction platform. Aadhaar Pay is the merchant
version of Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS) which enables merchants to accept
payment from the Customer having Aadhaar enabled account using his/her Aadhaar number
and Biometrics after authentication from Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
Features of the Aadhaar Pay:
Aadhaar Pay will enable customers to facilitate cashless purchases from the
Merchants in a cost effective and scalable manner, supporting the governments
initiatives towards boosting cashless transactions.
The application has been made available only for Individual Merchants, i.e. only those
who maintain either a Sole Proprietorship or Individual account with Bank, which should
necessarily be Adahaar seeded. Businessmen/ Merchants in other categories such as
Partnership Firms, Companies, Societies etc. are not eligible for this platform.
Aadhaar Pay is designed to address the requirement of merchants for receiving
payment upon delivering goods and services to their customers.
It does not require a buyer (customer) to carry debit/credit cards, install various payment
applications on his phone, type detailed USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service
Data) codes to transfer money, or to have a phone to do cashless payments.
The PNB Aadhaar Pay application has been got developed by HOITD from M/S TCS. It
allows merchants to accept the Aadhaar number of the customer as a payment
instrument and the use of Biometric authentication for the purchase of goods and
services.
The upper limit for a single transaction with a customer is presently restricted to Rs.
2000/- per day.
Process of Merchant Acquiring Aadhaar Pay:
Bank Officials will identify interested merchant to be on boarded for Aadhaar Pay
having satisfactory conduct of account, get the prescribed Application Form and Letter of
Undertaking filled up and ensure that that the account of the merchant is KYC compliant.
An official/representative of the Bank will download the App from our Intranet and share/
upload the payment application on the Smartphone of the Merchant in an assisted mode
such as a Bluetooth transfer. Care is to be taken that only PNB official Aadhaar Pay App
is used for this purpose.
Once the application is installed on the Smartphone of the Merchant, he will need to put
in Bank details and Aadhaar Number to complete the process of registration.
The Smartphone, having the App installed and Merchant registered is then connected to
a biometric device (of specifications circulated by HO ITD from time to time) using micro
USB port of the Smartphone.
The Smartphone Biometric device combo will thus be ready to be put in use for
transactions.

Operations during merchant transactions:
When a customer (buyer) has to pay the merchant for any good or services, the
merchant using his Smartphone Biometric combo configured as above shall open the
preinstalled application of his phone.
Merchant shall ask the buyer to put in the Aadhaar number and Name of the Bank (from
which the payment is intended to be made) of the latter, i.e. the buyer into the
Smartphone.
The Application communicates with UIDAI and validates the customer credentials, i.e.
whether the Aadhaar number of the customer / Bank details are correct.
The Merchant then keys in the amount to be collected from the buyer customer and asks
the buyer to authenticate payment.
Buyer checks the Name of Merchant and the amount payable on the Smartphone of the
Merchant and put his thumb/ finger on biometric device. The biometric device captures
fingerprint impressions, sends it to UIDAI who validate the biometrics and on the basis of
this a mandate for payment triggers to the Bank of the buyer for transferring the amount
to the Bank account of the Merchant. The entire process is real time.
Charges:
No monthly rental/ charges to be recovered from Merchants.

Merchant Discount Rate @ 0.25 % of the transaction amount + applicable taxes shall be
levied/ charged to account of the merchant. This is quite less in comparison to other
mode of receiving payment available to Merchants.
