Geo-tagging has various benefits, such as, provide insights on regional penetration of digital payments; monitor infrastructure density across different locations; identify scope for deploying additional payment touch points; facilitate focused digital literacy programmes. Policy interventions for realising the above benefits will be facilitated by the information thus collected.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Digital payment transactions carried out by customers using payment touch points use two broad categories of physical infrastructure:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"head\">Banking infrastructure<\/span> comprising bank branches, offices, extension counters, Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) \/ Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs), Cash Recycler Machines (CRMs), micro-ATMs used by Business Correspondents (BCs), etc.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"head\">Payment acceptance infrastructure<\/span> comprising Points of Sale (PoS) terminals, Quick Response (QR) codes deployed by banks \/ non-bank Payment System Operators (PSOs), etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Use of geo-tagging to capture the locational data of acceptance infrastructure would be subject to the following guidelines:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol type=\"a\">\n<li>Banks \/ Non-bank PSOs shall capture and maintain geographical coordinates for all payment touch points.<\/li>\n<li>Geo-tagging information in respect of the following shall be submitted to the Reserve
