Key points: โขSROs must represent the fintech sector, including RBI-regulated entities, facilitating self-governance. โขThey should be independent, objective, setting standards, monitoring compliance, penalizing violations, and resolving disputes fairly. โขEligibility criteria include being a non-profit, sufficient net worth, robust IT systems, and managing risks. โขSROs perform developmental roles like training, research, assisting smaller firms, and promoting compliance culture. โขThey are the sector's voice to RBI, sharing data, violation updates, consulting on taxonomy etc. The RBI oversees them. โขHigh governance standards with transparency, independent directors, skilled resources. RBI can nominate observers. This enables fintech self-regulation under RBI oversight, harmonizing innovation with responsible practices in this sector.
