What is the Aadhaar Payment Bridge (APB) System?

It is one of the unique payment systems implemented by NPCI, uses Aadhaar number as a central key for electronically channelizing the Government benefits and subsidies in the Aadhaar Enabled Bank Accounts (AEBA) of the intended beneficiaries.

Why is the Aadhaar Payment Bridge (APB) System required?

  • The APB System sub-serves the goal of Financial Inclusion and provides an opportunity to the Government to attempt financial re-engineering of its subsidy management program. 
  • The implementation of APB System has also led to electronification of a large number of retail payment transactions which were predominantly either in cash or cheque.

Key features of the APB System

  • APB System capable to handle 10 million transactions per day.

Benefits of APB system

  • Eliminates inordinate delays, multiple channels & paper-work involved in the existing system.
