Not surprising considering that ,
#
India is a country in a hurry
# NDA Ministers are an
impatient lot ( - I say , a great VIRTUE
)
#
PM wants the bureaucracy to move at the Speed of the Bullet Train
#
Gadkariji has set a precedent by asking Auto Industry to jump from BS 4
to BS 6
Now , it seems the NDA government wants “ DIGITAL PAYMENTS
ECO-SYSTEM “ to get into the 7th GEAR ( bypassing 4th
/ 5th / 6th gears
! )
Let me explain
DNA ( 15 Sept ) carries
following news report :
“ Bhim app to come pre-loaded in phones “
Mobile handset manufacturers have been
asked by the government to pre-load smart phones with Bharat Interface for
Money ( BHIM ) application , which has been developed by National Payments
Corporation of India ( NPCI ) , to drive digital payments across country
According to a senior official from the
ministry, this move , if implemented, is expected to spur the usage of mobile
payments , ultimately pushing the government’s vision of a cashless society
The Ministry of IT and Electronics also
plans to make BHIM , a SINGLE POINT for ALL MOBILE PAYMENTS via Bharat QR code
which will be accepted across all merchants across platforms , including Mobile
Wallets
In my following blog ( sent as E Mail to NDA Ministers on 14 APRIL 2017 ), I had suggested different stages of the evolution of BHIM ,
ranging from BHIM 4 to BHIM 10
At that time , only BHIM 3.0 had just got launched by PM
And , in my above
blog,
“ From UPI [ Unified Payment Interface ] to UTI [ Unified Transaction
Interface ] “
was detailed only at BHIM Version 7.0
I don’t think that the government has
given up on introduction of versions , BHIM 4 / BHIM 5 / BHIM 6 ! ( Look up blog for details )
I am sure , government has merely “ Re-arranged Priorities “ !
