2) Answer: B
Card payments company Visa launched cardholder verification value (CVV) free online transactions for domestic tokenized credentials in India.
With the help of this feature, users can carry out online transactions without entering CVV, if the card has been tokenized.
The merchants who will adopt CVV-free features will not need to ask customers for their CVV every time they do a transaction.
They will verify a three-digit CVV only once, at the time of tokenizing the card.
Key Highlights :
Tokenization masks the card details with a unique code, making the transactions more secure.
Tokenized transactions are two-factor authenticated, one at the time of tokenization and later at the time of putting the OTP.
Tokenization removes the need for a customer to put details such as the 16-digit debit or credit card number, CVV and the expiry date at merchant websites every time the person makes a transaction.
It secures the user from cyber fraud, as online merchants don’t save the card data of customers but only the tokens.
Merchants like Zomato and payment service providers like Razorpay live with Visa’s CVV-free solution.
Visa has earlier paused the Visa Safe Click service, launched in 2019 to eliminate the requirement of CVV or OTP for transactions below Rs 2,000.
Through tokenization, card details are hidden with a unique code.
Latest RBI data shows total debit and credit transactions totalled 458.8 million in February, worth Rs 1.68 lakh crore.
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) data shows total UPI transactions in February exceeded 7.53 billion, processing payments worth Rs 12.35 lakh crore.
3) Answer: A

The new rule was supposed to be implemented by 1 May 2023.
Instead of May 01, 2023, this obligation will now come into effect on 1 August 2023.
However, given the operational difficulties faced by the taxpayers, the GST authorities have decided to defer it.
Key Highlights :
e-invoice is a system in which business-to-business (B2B) invoices are electronically authenticated by GST Network, the entity that provided the IT backbone for the administration of GST.
Under the e-invoicing system, an identification number is issued against every invoice by the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) to be managed by the GST Network (GSTN).
Initially, this will only apply to taxpayers with a turnover of Rs 100 crore and above.
This will not apply to credit or debit notes.
GST Network (GSTN) has opened its national e-invoicing registration portal (IRP) for all taxpayers to use for creating and sending electronic invoices to customers.
Presently, only taxpayers with ₹10 or above sales revenue per annum are mandated to use the government’s e-invoicing system.
