Based on the feedback received and taking into account the important functions of these intermediaries in the online payments space as also keeping in view their role vis-a-vis handling funds, it has been decided to (a) regulate in entirety the activities of PAs as per the guidelines in Annex 1, and (b) provide baseline technology-related recommendations to PGs as per Annex 2.
