BHIM is a UPI based payment interface which allows real time
fund transfer using a single identity like your mobile number or name.
BHIM is not a wallet. It is a payments application which
allows users to make instant bank transfers.
The easiest way to
think of UPI is that it is a payment method to transfer money between 2
parties. It is similar to NEFT or RTGS transfers in that way.
Currently it is available in 13 languages, i.e., Hindi,
English, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, Odia, Kannada, Punjabi, Assamese, Urdu,
Marathi and Gujarati.
A Virtual Payment Address (VPA) is a unique identifier which
you can use to send and receive money on UPI. Think of it as an email ID which
you can use to transfer money.
You can use BHIM outside India to send and collect money for
your local accounts. Please note that NRI/NRE accounts cannot be used for the
same.
NPCI does not charge any user for transacting on BHIM.
Kindly get in touch with your bank to ask for their charges.
Dial *99# to avail features of BHIM without internet on any
mobile phone.
BHIM is interconnected with every bank through the UPI
ecosystem. Hence, you will not be able to link your account on BHIM
application.
Any user having a smartphone and bank account is eligible to
use BHIM. That being said, you need your mobile number registered with the bank
and a debit card linked to that account. You can download the app from
playstore or appstore.

On successful registration, a default ID i.e mobilenumber@upi

and receive money on UPI. Think of it as an email ID which you can use to
transfer money.
