This study presents the design of an Outcome Based Survey crafted to evaluate the effect that UPI-fraud-awareness campaigns have in reducing individuals’ propensity to engage with fraudulent communication.

MFIN India and Dvara Research partner to gather insights on users’ experience of navigating the MFIN-Customer Grievance Redress Mechanism (MFIN-CGRM). The study deploys mixed methods — a primary survey of over 300 users, stakeholder interviews and desk research to understand the user-centricity of the MFIN-CGRM.
