After the successful installation of BHIM App, here are its features and how to use the BHIM app for transactions.

First select the sim card which you have registered with the bank account. After that, the BHIM app will automatically detect the sim and verify it. Once it verified, it asks you to secure the BHIM app with as passcode. Enter the 4 digit passcode of your choice.

Step 2:  The next screen it wills how is the list of all banks associated with the BHIM app. Select you bank.

Note: Be sure that the bank account you are going to select is the same bank that has your registered mobile number. And with that same number you have also registered the BHIM app

Step 3: Once you select the bank it will show the bank account you have registered with your mobile number.

Step 4:  Now the final screen will look like as shown in the screenshot.  The three option you are going to get here are SEND, REQUEST and SCAN & PAY. To send money just click on send option and enter the mobile number of other person using the same app. You can also request the payment by using the mobile number of other person registered with BHIM app.

Step 5: Just like Paytm and other mobile wallets this app also let you do the payments by scanning the bar codes. You can also request for your remaining account balance.

 

Right now the app is at its initials phase but it needs some further development. But the concept is good and really helpful to people for encouraging the cashless payments.
