AEPS Business Opportunity

The AEPS business opportunity allows retailers, shop owners, entrepreneurs and digital-service businesses to add Aadhaar-enabled banking services to their existing operations.
Aadhaar Enabled Payment System enables eligible customers to access supported banking services through authorized service points using Aadhaar authentication and biometric verification.
Mobisafar provides an AEPS platform offering services such as cash withdrawal, cash deposit, balance enquiry, mini statement and Aadhaar-to-Aadhaar fund transfer.

Mobisafar currently promotes a multi-service platform for retailers and agents, allowing multiple services to be accessed through one platform.

AEPS Charges

AEPS charges can include applicable registration fees, transaction-related charges or other commercial fees depending on the partner arrangement and service.
Mobisafar's current terms state that the Retailer, Distributor or Super Distributor is required to pay the applicable non-refundable registration fee according to the commercial terms defined by Mobisafar.
The terms also state that prices, charges, fees and discounts for Mobisafar services may be revised from time to time.
Therefore, the applicable AEPS charges should be checked against the current commercial terms and active partner portal before registration.

AEPS Charges for Retailers

For an AEPS retailer, applicable costs can depend on the account category and commercial arrangement.
Before starting the business, retailers should review:

Mobisafar's terms state that commissions may be adjusted on a daily, monthly or transaction basis and that rates are communicated through the portal.

AEPS Distributor

An AEPS distributor operates at a broader level than an individual retailer, depending on the applicable business arrangement.
A distributor can work with retailers and help expand an AEPS service network.
Mobisafar's terms recognize three partner categories:

The exact responsibilities, commercial structure, commission sharing and requirements can vary according to the applicable agreement.

AEPS Distributor Business

An AEPS distributor may support activities such as:

A distributor-level model can therefore be suitable for entrepreneurs who want to build a network rather than operate only as an individual AEPS retailer.

AEPS Distributor Commission

AEPS distributor earnings can depend on the applicable distributor structure, retailer network, transaction volume and commission-sharing arrangement.
Mobisafar's published AEPS commission material includes separate structures for distributor-linked and direct-agent transactions.
Mobisafar's terms also state that the company determines the applicable commission and margin-sharing arrangement and communicates commission rates through the partner portal.

AEPS Retailer vs AEPS Distributor

AEPS Retailer AEPS Distributor

Operates from a local service point Can operate at a broader network level
Earns applicable transaction commission May receive applicable distributor margin
Focuses on customer transactions Focuses on retailer/network development
Suitable for shop owners Suitable for network-oriented businesses

The actual roles and commercial terms depend on the agreement with the service provider.

AEPS Business Opportunity for Shop Owners

The AEPS business opportunity can be particularly relevant for businesses that already have customer footfall.
A mobile shop, grocery store or digital-service centre can add AEPS services alongside its existing business.
For example:

Mobile Shop + AEPS + Recharge + Bill Payment

or

Kirana Store + AEPS + Money Transfer + Micro ATM

or

Digital Centre + AEPS + PAN + Insurance + Bill Payment

Mobisafar provides multiple service categories through its platform, allowing retailers to build a broader service portfolio.

Start AEPS Business With Multiple Services

Starting an AEPS business does not necessarily mean offering only cash withdrawal.
Mobisafar's platform provides access to multiple services, including:

This gives an AEPS agent or AEPS retailer the opportunity to create a broader digital-service outlet.

AEPS Business Investment

The investment required to start an AEPS business depends on the partner category and applicable commercial terms.
Potential costs can include:

Mobisafar's terms state that registration fees are non-refundable and are determined according to the commercial terms defined by the company.
Mobisafar's homepage currently promotes the opportunity to grow a business with minimal one-time investment and zero working capital for its broader service ecosystem, but individual AEPS arrangements can have their own applicable requirements.

AEPS Business Earnings

The earning potential of an AEPS business depends primarily on transaction activity and the applicable commission structure.
For example, a retailer processing more eligible transactions may generate more total commission than a retailer with low customer activity.
However, earnings should be calculated using the current commission rates shown in the partner's active portal rather than assuming a fixed monthly income.
Important factors include:

Secure AEPS Business

Security is an important part of an AEPS business.
Mobisafar's AEPS platform describes biometric authentication and secure transaction processing as part of its service model.
AEPS agents should protect their login credentials, use authorized devices and follow the applicable transaction procedures.
Customers should never share confidential credentials such as ATM PINs or UPI PINs with an AEPS retailer or agent.
