Abhishek Kumar, founder of SahajMoney, said many people without formal income documents are shut out of credit cards, and that pre-approved UPI credit lines with basic checks could help small borrowers and shopkeepers fund working capital instead of borrowing from moneylenders.

It includes comments from Abhishek Kumar.
