How Bharat QR Works

  • Customers of any Bank having the respective Bank's Mobile Banking or any QR Code supporting apps on their smartphone can make payment through the QR code available at the Merchant location. 
  • The QR code sticker provided to Merchants along with the kit is an integrated QR (UPI + BQR), which can be used by customers for making payments using any UPI or BQR supporting app of his/ her choice (Mobile Banking and UPI apps).
  • On successful scanning of the QR code, customer can make payment by choosing the card which is linked to their account.
  • After successful completion of transaction, both the Customer as well as the Merchant will be receiving SMS notifications.
  • Customer account will be debited in real time and Merchant's account will be credited on settlement, which usually is on T+2 basis.
 
Note: If the transaction is performed by Customer through UPI platform Merchant's account will be credited on real time.
