WhatsApp has won regulatory approval to double the number of users on its payments service in India to 40 million, a source with direct knowledge told Reuters on November 26.
The company had requested that there should be no cap on users of its payment service in India.
Instead, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) this week told the company it could double the user base to which it can offer its payment service- currently restricted to 20 million, the source said.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
