RBI had announced setting up the expert committee at the December 2018 monetary policy announcement.
With the recommendation, the ministry has prepared a draft discussion paper on ‘Promoting Technology Adoption by MSMEs – Mission Document’ and has requested all stakeholders to give their comments or views by January 25.
