Explanation

National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) was promoted by Financial Technologies India Ltd (FTIL) and NAFED (National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India). The Rs 5600 crore scam involved payments crisis in commodity trading. NSE and NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India) are unrelated entities - NSE is the stock exchange and NPCI handles retail payments. NSDIL is also not a promoter of NSEL.
