BHIM app: How To Receive Money Using ‘Request’ Feature

One of the coolest features of BHIM is ‘Request Money’. This feature is very useful if you want to get back your money from a friend. The merchants are also using this feature to get payment from the customers. In this post, I am going to tell everything about BHIM app request money feature.

What is BHIM app Request money feature

The request money feature in BHIM app is used to request money. You can request money from any BHIM or UPI user through this feature. This feature is very helpful for those who often receive payments. BHIM merchant account holders often use this feature to ask the amount from customers.

This feature makes the payments easier and faster. You can generate a payment request using payer’s VPA aka UPI ID or mobile number. You can also generate payment request to your contacts if they are registered with BHIM.

How Request Feature works

When you enter a UPI ID or mobile number and tap verify. The BHIM app checks its database for the authenticity of that UPI ID/mobile number. It lets you generate the request only after successful verification.

When you successfully generate the request, the app sends a notification in payer’s BHIM app. Now, the player can either accept or decline the payment request. Say you received a payment request. You will see two options – Pay and Decline. You can choose any of these as per your preference.

If you think the request is legitimate then pay the amount. Keep in mind, you need to enter your UPI PIN in order to make the payment. But if you don’t know who has sent you this payment request and why, then simply decline it. You can also block the person from sending you payment requests in future.

Other Functions of BHIM app

Along with request money feature, you would also get other benefits of UPI with BHIM app. You can send money through BHIM that is the main feature of the BHIM. Also, you can scan BHIM QR codes and make payments through it. And you can also generate BHIM QR code using the app itself. Apart from that, you can check the balance of your account as well.
