What happens when the country's biggest bank, state-owned, and its largest mobile wallet firm, privately-owned and backed by Chinese investors, cannot co-exist?
India knows the answer.

This comes at a time when the mobile wallet landscape in India has heated up following the central government's ban on high-value currency notes that sucked out more than three-fourths of the cash in circulation almost overnight.
As a result, adoption of services like Paytm (backed by Chinese investor Alibaba), Mobikwik, Freecharge and others has grown by leaps and bounds.
SBI, the old incumbent of Indian banking, is feeling the heat from Paytm, especially because it has the millions of points-of-sale (PoS) in the country and is also on its way to becoming a payments bank.

Some have even called for the intervention of the RBI, India's federal bank.
