PM Modi during his speech mentioned that the app works on smartphones as well as feature phones. Besides, the app does not require internet connection to make digital transactions.
How to use BHIM App?
1) In order to use the app, merchants need to download the Aadhaar cashless merchant app on their smartphones connected to a biometric reader, which is currently available for Rs 2,000.
2) The customer will then feed his or her Aadhar number into the app, select the bank through which the transaction will take place, and the biometric scan will work as a password for the transaction to be authenticated.
PM Modi also talked about the new scheme- Lucky Grahak Yojana, which enables citizens to win lucky drwas if they make online transactions. He mentioned that a sum of Rs. 340 crore will be distributed as a prize money to citizens of India in the next 100 days who make digital transactions.
