Any shortfall or delay in reporting such discrepancies is treated as a serious compliance violation.<a id=\"fnref1\" href=\"#fn1\" title=\"1. Master Directions - Reserve Bank of India\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The RBI initiated a statutory inspection into PhonePe&#8217;s operations to assess compliance with PPI regulations. The inspection focused on the company&#8217;s financial practices, particularly the maintenance and reporting of its escrow account balance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>RBI conducted a statutory inspection into PhonePe&#8217;s operations from <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">October 2023 to December 2024<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The inspection revealed that, on certain days, the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">end-of-day balance in PhonePe&#8217;s escrow account<\/span> was <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">less than the value of outstanding PPIs and payments due to merchants<\/span>, a clear violation of RBI&#8217;s PPI guidelines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The Company also failed to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">report these shortfalls immediately<\/span> to RBI, compounding the breach of compliance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>After reviewing all the details, the Regulator concluded that the charges were <span style=\"font-weight:

Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001565346\" target=\"_blank\">30(1)<\/a> read with Section <a
