Infibeam Avenues has received final authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as a Payment Aggregator under the Payment Settlements Act, 2007 for its payment gateway brand – CCAvenue. While Infibeam Avenues already received “in-principle” approval from the RBI late last year, the apex banking body has granted the final licence. RBI had introduced the payment aggregator framework in March 2020. Infibeam Avenues offers digital payment solutions and enterprise software platforms to businesses and governments across industry verticals. The company’s payment infrastructure solution includes acquiring and issuing solutions and offering infrastructure for banks. Its enterprise software platform provides an online marketplace for government procurement. Razorpay, Cashfree, and Open were the first set of players to get the regulatory nod in December last year. Zomato, DigiO, Google, and Tata Digital among others are the other major players to get the payments licence. Infibeam Avenues claims that it has more than 10 million merchants on its platform and crossed half a million merchant onboarding in the first half of FY24. Infibeam Avenues had earlier launched CCAvenue mobile app, which is an advanced omni-channel payment app where its app features a pin-on-glass SoftPoS solution – CCAvenue TapPay for Merchants and Kiranas across the country. Infibeam Avenues had shown strong growth and this could be evident from its Q3 FY24 numbers. Its revenue from operations grew 15.4% to Rs 912 crore in Q3 FY24 whereas the firm also managed to grow its profit marginally to Rs 40.8 crore during the above mentioned period.

This allows the fintech firm to onboard new merchants onto its platform. In April 2024, PayU received in-principle approval from the RBI to operate as a payment aggregator. “As we move forward, we remain dedicated to building a resilient, compliant, inclusive, and innovation-driven institution—one that serves merchants of all sizes and contributes meaningfully to the Digital India vision of the RBI and the Government,” said a PayU spokesperson. The development comes at a time when PayU is planning for its IPO, eyeing a public listing during the second half of 2025. The company also appointed Pramod Rao as its Chief Risk Officer, who will oversee risk management, regulatory compliance, and strengthen the organization’s financial and operational risk framework. PayU has acquired a 43.5% stake in real-time payments technology firm Mindgate Solutions, enhancing its footprint in India’s real-time payments space and leveraging Mindgate’s expertise to drive digital payment innovation globally. Several other startups have secured authorization from the RBI as payment aggregators. MobiKwik’s subsidiary Zaakpay and PB Fintech’s subsidiary PB Pay received in-principle approval, and BharatPe’s Resilient Payments was granted final approval. Earlier this year, cross-border payments company Skydo received in-principle authorization from the RBI to operate as a Payment Aggregator-Cross Border (PA-CB) entity.
