It has been an exciting financial year end! With 5 million accounts linked, around 6 million successful consents and more than 300 participants in the ecosystem, we are a larger community than ever. ‘With great Power, comes great responsibility’, and so as we tread along to make AA a nation-wide impactful framework, there is a need to ensure a healthy and a stable scale-up with self participatory efforts from the entire ecosystem. While adoption and usage of the ecosystem continues to be encouraging, it has its own share of challenges.
Total number of consents successfully fulfilled through AA increased by 0.88 million in March 2023, thus growing at 18 per cent month on month. 21 new FIUs and 4 new FIPs joined the AA Ecosystem in February with the total FIUs reaching 165 and total FIPs reaching 36 in number. The ecosystem is getting more cross-sectoral with KFintech and CAMS CRAs under PFRDA going live on AA as FIPs. 25 out of 36 FIPs have gone live with 4 or more AAs, thus demonstrating that the system is becoming increasingly interoperable.
In terms of immediate challenges, successful consents based data sharing rates continue to be low at 30-35 % of the total consent requests. A working group of FIPs have discussed the draft SLAs for finalizing the SLAs. Once adopted, this should be a great enabler for a healthy scale-up.
FY23 has witnessed the ‘first’ of many initiatives, and FY24 will kick start with the first annual event of our ecosystem in May 2023. Welcome SamvAAd2023! More on this in the coming days, stay tuned.
