Guv appeals to people to avail benefit from e-RUPI

Itanagar, Aug 2 (UNI) Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brig (Retd) BD Mishra on Monday said that
e-RUPI is a boon for the people during the Covid-19 pandemic as it connects the sponsors of the services with the beneficiaries and service providers in a digital manner without any physical
interface.
He appealed to the people to avail benefits from this platform for a safe and secured payment system.
"e-RUPI is a revolutionary initiative in the direction of ensuring a leak-proof delivery of welfare services, which can also be used for delivering services under schemes meant for providing
medicines and nutritional support welfare schemes for mother and child, health programmes such
as Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and agriculture subsidies etc," Mishra,
who attended the launching of e-RUPI by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday via video conferencing, said.
"It also ensures that the payment to the service provider is made only after the transaction is completed. Being pre-paid in nature, it assures timely payment to the service provider without involvement of any intermediary," he said.
The Governor emphasised on more awareness about the platform among the people, so that
they can use it.
e-RUPI is a cashless and contactless instrument for digital payment, developed by National
Payments Corporation of India on its UPI platform, in collaboration with the Department of
Financial Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and National Health Authority.
