RBI, IRDAI, PFRDA, SEBI, adjacent institutions viz. NPCI, UIDAI etc. and international institutions. In a short span the federation not only had high level meetings with MOF, DFS, RBI and PMO but is regularly being invited to ongoing policy, regulatory and taxation formulation discussions and other fora. Representations by BCFI have resulted in many policy and regulatory changes viz. service tax waiver, inclusion of CSPs in demonetization activities to name some. Additionally, several important matters are underway viz. Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) of BC, BC registry, White Label BCs etc.
