India Digital Remittance Market Synopsis

The India Digital Remittance Market is currently experiencing a rapid growth due to the increasing adoption of digital payment solutions and the rise in international migration. This market offers a convenient and secure way for individuals to transfer money across borders, eliminating the need for traditional methods such as bank transfers or physical cash transactions.

According to 6Wresearch, the India Digital Remittance Market size is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 20.5% during 2025-2031.  One of the major drivers for this market is the increasing number of migrants and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in India who need to send money back home. According to the World Bank, India received a total of USD 79 billion in remittances in 2019, making it the largest recipient of remittances globally. This trend is expected to continue, further boosting the growth of digital remittance market in the country. India Digital Remittance Market growth is driven by these factors.

However, some challenges can hinder the growth of this market. One such challenge is the lack of awareness about digital remittances among the rural population and senior citizens who may not be as tech-savvy as younger generations. This limits the potential user base for digital remittance services in India.

Digital Remittance Market in India: Leading Players

Some of the key players in the Indian digital remittance market include banks such as HDFC, ICICI, and State Bank of India, as well as non-banking players like Paytm, Google Pay, and PhonePe. These companies have been continuously innovating and expanding their services to cater to the growing demand for digital remittances. With the increasing use of smartphones and internet penetration, these players have been able to reach a wider customer base and provide convenient and cost-effective ways to send money.

India Digital Remittance Industry: Government Initiatives

Indian government has also launched various initiatives such as the Pravasi Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PKVY) which aims to train and certify migrant workers for better job opportunities abroad. This not only supports the Indian diaspora but also contributes to the growth of the digital remittance market as these workers are more likely to use digital channels to send money back home. Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also introduced policies and guidelines to regulate and promote digital transactions in the country. In 2017, RBI allowed non-resident Indians (NRIs) to use the Rupee Drawing Arrangement (RDA) for digital remittance transactions, making it easier for NRIs to send money back to India.

Future Insights of the Market

The future of digital remittances in India looks promising with the government's focus on promoting digital transactions and initiatives like Digital India.
