As per reports appearing in the
media, over the last couple of weeks, 1.5crs – 4 crs banks accounts have been opened under PMJDY
scheme in all bank branches in India.
As the Accidental Insurance of INR
1lac is dependent on usage of RuPay Cards, the account holders are eagerly
waiting to receive the RuPay card in their hands.
The stupendous success of PMJDY in a
short time has raised the delivery bar for NPCI as well as the respective Banks.
To shorten the TAT for delivery of
PMJDY RuPay Cards and to ensure that quality of RuPay Cards / Holograms is maintained throughout the program,
NPCI has announced a common RFQ (Request for Quote) covering the major 7
aspects of PMJDY program.
The chief objective of this common
RFP is to enable individual banks to place orders with the chosen vendors by
avoiding the tendering process.
Through this common RFQ, NPCI shall
select all such empanelled vendors for supplying Personalised RuPay Debit Cards
under uniform card design as prescribed under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna
(PMJDY)
It is expected that over 50 million RuPay
cards would need to be provided by Banks to the first time account holders
under the program. Yes, at present the exact number of required cards is an
unknown factor.
This poses unique challenges to the
vendors, as they have to bid only on minimal data.
