RAS question
According to PM Modi at GFF 2025, what percentage of global real-time digital transactions occur in India?
Correct answer: (A) 50%.
At the Global Fintech Fest 2025 in Mumbai, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that 50% of global real-time digital transactions occur in India.
Explanation
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement at the Global Fintech Fest 2025 links India’s digital payments scale to its wider digital public infrastructure story. The official PMO account says that UPI alone handles 20 billion transactions every month, with transaction value exceeding ₹25 lakh crore. The Prime Minister also said that out of every 100 real-time digital transactions globally, 50 take place in India. That makes 50% the only supported answer. This is not a general estimate of digital adoption but a specific numerical claim made by the Prime Minister at GFF 2025.
Why the other options are wrong
- (B) 35% understates the PMO-reported claim, which says 50 out of every 100 global real-time digital transactions occur in India.
- (C) 25% would mean one-fourth of global real-time digital transactions, but the PMO statement puts India’s share at one-half.
- (D) 75% overstates the figure; the official account says India accounts for 50 of every 100 such transactions, not three-fourths.
Concept
This tests digital payments and financial inclusion under Indian Economy, especially the role of UPI and digital public infrastructure. Such figures recur in RAS because they connect current policy speeches with measurable economic governance outcomes.
