Step by Step Process:

Currently, most of the Indian citizens are using BHIM App. Even though to promote this app ultimately our government is going to launch two more new schemes.

First one is the referral payments for individuals if we refer this app for others. And the second one is cash backs on merchant transactions who accept payments from BHIM app. finally, I want to say one thing, use e-wallets instead of liquid cash.
