It is managed by the [[National Payments Corporation of India|National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI)]] and is built upon the existing [[National Financial Switch]] network. In 2010, the NPCI initially carried out a pilot for the mobile payment system with 4 member banks ([[State Bank of India]], [[Bank of India]], [[Union Bank of India]] and [[ICICI Bank]]), and expanded it to include [[Yes Bank]], [[Axis Bank]] and [[HDFC Bank]] later that year. IMPS was publicly launched on 22 November 2010. Currently, there are 53 commercial banks, 101 Rural/District/Urban and cooperative banks, and 24 [[Prepaid Payment Instruments in India|PPIi]] signed up for the IMPS service.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.npci.org.in/bankmember.aspx|title=National Payments Corporation of India|website=www.npci.org.in|access-date=2017-07-26}}</ref><br />
