Today, I am reading my written agreement terms with PayuMoney. It is the website which provide payment gateway. At this time, there is no payment gateway in my online stores. So, I am very interested to connect it. After this, my customer can pay me through one click of their debit and credit card. Same money will go to my Nodal Account and after following the TOS, I will get this money in my saving account.
So, it is necessary to study it before signing this written agreement which came few days ago to my official address. One of its condition that it follows the rules of payment and settlement systems act 2007. Before this, I do not know this act. So, I tried to search it and read pdf of RBI which was publish online for general awareness. I am sharing its simple rules after understanding it.
