how to change the limit of amount per day
I had problem installing BHIM app
I was using the app from the day one it was launched by Modiji
The app was working fine (and is quite simple and useful)
Few days back i had message by Google Playstore to update certain apps as new updated versions are available. So i updated the apps
But after updating apps, Bhim app failed to start, it only shows the first screen.
I tried many times but still unable to use the app so i decided to uninstall the app and install the previous version of the app but Play Store had only the latest version, so i downloaded the app from external website (it had all the previous versions)
The app functions properly but at time of verifying the mobile number it shows error. & asks to verify the mobile number again.
I downloaded the Bhim app from play store but it does’nt starts it just shows the first screen.
I tried several times but still no success..
Kindly guide me how can i solve this problem..

In case of dual SIM – both the SIM are registered with different Banks. I have successfully used BHIM on primary SIM. How do I use this app on my other SIM ? Do I have to remove & reinstall, after removing primary SIM ?
Hi Anil,
You can use BHIM app only with Primary SIM if you have registered it with Primary. If you want to use secondary SIM with BHIM app then Uninstall BHIM from your phone and register it with Secondary SIM. However if you don’t want to remove it from your phone then install another BHIM app into your existing phone using Parallel Space app. Download it from Google Play Store and install BHIM app into this then register it with Secondary SIM.
Yes required passcode
After creating 4 digit paas code it shows all banks name but while touching any one of them it’s responding ‘transaction declined’. So how can I use BHIM app?
Have you Created UPI PIN.
Transaction decline / account doesn’t exit
It may Be a bug. Will be fixed soon.
Sending otp by dena bank is 4 digits but required is 6 digits password for setting upi pin .
What I do for this problem?
OTP PIN is only for the verification of the UPI PIN setup. IF Dena Bank allows you to create 6 digits UPI PIN then you can create without any problem. If the BHIM app asking 6 digits OTP code and you have received 4 digits OTP code. Then contact to the Dena bank customer care number they will assist you better than anyone.
