RBI has said WhatsApp is not in compliance with RBI's data localization laws. The WhatsApp payment feature called WhatsApp Pay has been in a beta mode since last year after releasing a UPI-payment system within its native app and has been restricted to only 1 million users in the country. This is the first time RBI has made an official statement regarding WhatsApp's payment system which continues to face criticism.
