Under the Banking Regulation Act of 1949, the RBI holds broad powers to issue directives in the public interest of banking policy. The introduction of specialized banks, such as Payment Banks, was recommended by the Nachiket Mor committee with the aim of promoting financial inclusion. These banks are required to register as public limited companies and obtain licenses under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
