| PCI Launches Project Pratima to Standardise Icons for Digital Payments |
The Payments Council of India (PCI) launched Project Pratima on December 2, 2022. The project aims to introduce a uniform set of icons for basic payment actions and processes, which in turn is expected to improve trust, security, and familiarity with digital payment icons.
PCI constituted a working group with members from Jupiter Money, Fampay, Amazon, Setu, PayU, Eko, Paytm, SafexPay, Mobikwik and WhatsApp Pay, and created a list of standard payments-related icons to be adopted by industry players. The PCI also onboarded NPCI, SBI, HDFC and PNB to the initiative for additional support, at the request of the Reserve Bank of India. The PCI secretariat is also working on an implementation roadmap of the project by the industry and is closely engaged with all industry stakeholders including banks to ensure industry-wide use of these standardized icons.
