PM Modi launches BHIM app for Cashless Transactions in India


Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a UPI (United Payments Interface) based app called BHIM, short for Bharat Interface for Money. The BHIM app is a straightforward UPI app, which would allow anyone to make simple digital payments directly from their bank account, and it is now available for download.


The app allows any person to securely SEND and RECEIVE money through online banking transaction system, which means you will have to have a bank account plus the e-banking facility activated, to take advantage of the BHIM app.


The app also allows merchants to pay or receive money by simply scanning a QR Code and the money is debited or credited to your bank within 24 hours. It even allows you to print the QR code for quick check-outs.

BHIM app is presently now available on Android and will come to iPhone 'soon'.

How do I use BHIM app?

After you download the BHIM app, you'll have to register your bank account through the app, and set a UPI PIN. Your mobile number is your payment address, and you can start transacting. Through the app, you can send or receive money to a phone number, check balance, or scan a QR code to make a payment without sharing a phone number.

Using the BHIM app, money can also be sent to non-UPI banks through IFSC, like you do with normal net banking.

Does the BHIM app work on feature phones?

Apart from the Android app, the interface behind the BHIM app can be accessed using USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) from feature phones - you will need to dial *99# to access it. With this method, an Internet connection will not be required to use the core functionality behind the BHIM app.
