PM Modi to launch digital payment solution e-RUPI

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch e-RUPI, a person and purpose specific digital payment solution, on Monday via video conferencing, his office said.

Underlining that Modi has always championed digital initiatives, the Prime Minister’s Office said over the years, several programmes have been launched to ensure that the benefits reach its intended beneficiaries in a targeted and leak-proof manner, with limited touch points between the government and the beneficiary.

The concept of electronic voucher takes forward this vision of good governance, it said.

In its statement, the PMO said e-RUPI is a cashless and contactless instrument for digital payment.
