Full marks to Kotak bank for launching this innovative feature but they have to make sure that the transactions are not used for Hawala transactions and bonafide accounts in India are only allowed through this feature. The checks and balances have to be in place and receiver and buyer have to make sure that Trojans and Malwares are not implanted on their computers.
