UPDATE:
VOILA…………
finally PM modi have released a aadhar based mobile payment application today called
BHIM ( Bharat Payment Interface for Money).This app was released on Android platform for now , but expected to be released on other platforms soon.
As we have
published earlier regarding this app . you can check it out below.
OLDER POST:
On
December 25th,
our
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to release a new app for
cashless payments. So you need not to carry your credit or debit cards all the
times in your wallets. You just need your
Aadhar number (and most
important your finger to give finger print) to make
Transactions or
Payments.
The merchants
need to buy a new hardware called “Biometric Reader” for 2000/- , after
purchasing this the merchant should download the app (after it is releases) and
connect their smart phone via miniUSB.
Finally, if a
customer has to pay the bill to Merchant, the merchant should enter the
amount to be paid on the app. Next, the customer checks the amount if it was
correct.
If so, the
customer need to enter his/her Aadhar number and then should select the bank
account which has sufficient balance and finally to authorize the payment
customer should put this/her thumb in Fingerprint Reader. If all the
details are correct then the payment is authorized.
Pros of this
method:
You need not
to carry your cards all time.
The customer
needs not to have a smart phone.
Highly secured,
since you are using fingerprint to authorize transactions.
Cons :
APP is available only on Android platform.
