BHIM - E-PAYMENT MOBILE APP

      Our Prime Minister Shri Narender Modi released the new Mobile Application for Cashless Digital Payments on 30th Dec 2016. The Application has been named BHIM in Commemoration of the birth Anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar. This application works over the "Unified payment Interface" (UPI) of the banks and is very simple and reliable. This APP has now been upgraded and is available on both Android as well as IOB platforms. It is available in 7 Indian Languages and has been Aadhaar Enabled for payments.

    The money gets transferred direct to the bank account of the merchant or payee instantly from your bank. It uses the Virtual Payment Address (VPA) of the payee like 9999999999@upi where 9999999999 is mobile number of the Payee linked to his bank account. The secondary VPA can also be created hiding the mobile number as imsmart@upi  where its your chosen short name. The application has been updated that It can now transfer money using IFSC Code and account number of the payee in addition to VPA.
