PM Narendra Modi launches BHIM Aadhaar service, a digital payments platform for merchants
It is a merchant interface of the BHIM app that will allow users to make digital payments using their fingerprint.
With the new BHIM Aadhaar service, any Indian citizen with a bank account and Aadhaar card can make cashless payments. With a tagline that says ‘New India, New Economy,’ the BHIM Aadhaar app will do away with the need of having a smartphone, internet, and credit/debit cards to make digital payments.
To make a transaction, the merchant will need to enter your Aadhaar number in the app, select your bank account, enter the amount and scan your fingerprint on the biometric device. That’s it. Now, your fingerprint is your bank, and your identity.

BHIM App for Android, iOS Gets Support for New Languages, Money Transfer to Contacts, and More
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has released an update for the BHIM app on Android and iOS. The updated BHIM app (version 1.3) for Android and iOS now supports new languages, money transfer to phone contacts, QR code scanning, one-time option to edit Virtual Payment Address (VPA), among other major improvements. The updated version of the BHIM app is available in Google Play store and App Store to download.
The BHIM (Bharat Interface for Money) app has received a slew of improvements with this update. As we mentioned, it has now added Marathi, Punjabi, and Assamese to the list of supported languages. Apart from this, one of the highlighted features of this update is the ability to send money using your phone contacts, however it's limited only to users of the BHIM app and *99# USSD users. Also, users will now be able to use the block/ unblock feature to protect themselves from random money-collect requests. Besides, there is now a download feature for the transaction history of the previous payments made, along with an easy access to the saved beneficiaries.
In addition to the aforementioned features, BHIM app now supports scanning of QR code saved in your smartphone's gallery to send money. Among the already supported payment cards, BHIM app has now added SBI Maestro cards. For the UPI payments, users needs to have a Virtual Payment Address (VPA), which is used to transfer money in the BHIM app. You could not edit the non-mobile VPA after it was set for the first time earlier. With this update, users can make a one-time edit to their non-mobile VPA after it's originally set.
