NSDL e-Governance Infrastructure said it has received the Reserve Bank of India’s nod to set up an account aggregator business under its wholly owned subsidiary, NSDL e-Governance Account Aggregator Ltd. 

The newly-formed subsidiary will be completing all the legal and operational formalities so that it can start its operations once the RBI issues Certificate of Registration post-assessment. 

“Account aggregator is a critical step in enabling data democracy. It is a first-of-its-kind consent framework that empowers an individual with control over his or her data and the ability to securely and digitally access and share the same,” said Suresh Sethi, MD and CEO, NSDL e-Governance.
