Pragati – Sahamati Newsletter December 2022

From the CEO’s desk

As the year 2022 closes, AA ecosystem adoption has given us more reasons to celebrate. Month of December recorded all-time high daily average of 26,000 consents fulfilled through AA framework. Number of financial institutions live on AA crossed 100, showcasing the increasing adoption of AA for various use cases. Interoperability of FIPs on existing 6 AAs improved even as RBI granted operating license to another AA (Dashboard AA).

Looking ahead, in the year 2023, we will be working closely with the FIPs and FIUs to improve the success rate of consent requests fulfilled. Sahamati support portal will continue to work on grievance redressal; we are working with Beta testers for providing ODR services to citizens and will be soon launched.
