Digital Fraud Victim Support and Claims Processing Service
The Opportunity
India's digital payment fraud cases surged from 6,699 in FY23 to 29,080 in FY24, with victims struggling through complex claim processes. The RBI's new partial compensation framework (up to 85% for ā¹50,000 transactions) lacks operational infrastructure for quick claim filing, verification, and disbursementācreating friction between policy and execution.
Market Size
ā¹1,457 crore in FY24 fraud losses alone; estimated ā¹2,000+ crore annual addressable market for claims processing services as RBI framework rolls out across 10+ million digital payment users
Business Model
B2B service partnering with banks and RBI to operate as a licensed claims processing bureauāfiling, documenting, verifying, and fast-tracking victim compensation claims under the new framework. Charge banks a per-claim processing fee (ā¹500-1,500) or percentage commission on successful recoveries.
Per-claim processing fees from banks (ā¹500-1,500 Ć 50,000 claims/year = ā¹2.5-7.5 crore); consulting fees to help banks implement RBI guidelines (ā¹10-50 lakh per bank); optional SaaS dashboard for claim tracking (ā¹5-10 lakh/year per bank)
Your 30-Day Action Plan
Research RBI's final compensation framework draft (published notices); identify 3-5 Tier-1 and Tier-2 banks' fraud departments and compliance officers
