After the activation of BHIM (Bharat Interface for Money) app, one question will come to your mind that how to use BHIM app and transfer or receive money. Because without understanding you can’t send or receive money. So here I’ll tell you a complete guide to use BHIM app.
As we know that BHIM app is based on UPI (Unified Payment Interface), BHIM UPI app works like an ATM Machine with which you can transfer money from any UPI supported bank to other UPI supported the bank. But the condition is that your mobile number must be linked to your bank account. If your one mobile number is linked to different bank accounts, then any bank where is your mobile number registered can be connected to the BHIM app.
For Example, your mobile number is registered to ICICI Bank, SBI (State Bank Of India), PNB (Punjab National Bank), CBI (Central Bank Of India). So you can use any your bank with BHIM app, but for this, you will need to register your Mobile number with your BHIM app as well. Thus if you have not activated your BHIM app then read this post: How to download, Install and activate BHIM app. And if you have enabled BHIM app and wanted to know how to use it then continue reading.

Start Using BHIM UPI app
Before Start using BHIM app, you’ll need to know that if you have not used any UPI app yet then first you will have to SETUP UPI PIN. This PIN protects your account when you do any transaction from BHIM app. It is just like an ATM PIN as when you width-drawl money from ATM and will need to enter a PIN. Same when you’ll do any transaction on BHIM app, you’ll need to submit UPI PIN. So first setup UPI PIN:
- Launch the BHIM app and after login tap on Bank Accounts option.
- In the Bank Accounts option tap on SET UPI PIN button (if the PIN has not been setup yet).
- In the SET UPI PIN option, you’ll need to verify your debit card Last 6-DIGITS OF DEBIT Card and Valid Upto (Card Expiry) date which is print on the front side of the Debit card. After entering tap on (√) Tick button available at the bottom right.
- On next screen Enter OTP PIN which you have received on your registered mobile number (If the number is available in the same phone then it will be automatically selected). In the SET UPI PIN create 4-Digits UPI PIN (some banks allow to create 6-digits UPI PIN) and after this tap on Blue tick button.
- Next, re-enter the UPI PIN and the UPI PIN will be created successfully.
Setup UPI address
When you activate BHIM app with your mobile number, then your UPI address is [email protected] Eg: [email protected]. But it is not always a good idea to share your mobile number based UPI address to all. So for the solution BHIM app also allows you to create a name based UPI address. So how to create name-based custom UPI address in BHIM app?
- Tap on Profile option.
- In the Profile tap to Add Payment Address button and create a new payment which is based on your name eg: [email protected]. You can also check the availability of the payment address. If your name payment address is not available then the address can be mixed with numbers as well, eg: [email protected].
How to use, transfer & Receive Money
After settings up UPI PIN and name based UPI address, you can start sending or receiving money with BHIM app.

- And the code will be generated. Now share this QR with anyone and receive your payment securely without sharing your Mobile Number/UPI Address.

When you are making payment, then scan the QR code using this option and securely make your payments. This option works same as PayTm Pay or Send Money Scan Code option.You can also select a QR code from your memory card if your friend has sent QR code, then it can be scanned via “PICK FROM GALLERY” button.

Please clarify whether with only mobile no or Aadhar no I can send money to anyone. That is he is not made upi id yet.
I’m not sure about this, but I think, you can send the payment only if the other user is also registered with UPI. But you have another option, if other user is not registered to UPI then try to send payment into their bank account number.
Simply put, the Unified Payments Interface, better known as the UPI, is a payments system using which you can transfer money to anyone, through any of your bank accounts. Each user is assigned a unique identifier known as the Virtual Payment Address. Know more about UPI: [Link Removed]

It takes some time to debit in sent account. Many times it takes upto 7 days, if doesn’t debit within 7 days then contact to your bank branch with transaction detail.

Sometimes it takes around one week to transfer fund into the bank account.

I am having trouble generating upi pin. I am a SBI account holder with maestro debit card, which does not have the expiry date whereby one could create upi pin. please advise!
Did You try to fill “Valid From” date instead of Expiry date.
No, I did not try that. Does it work that way?
Yes try, it will work.
I tried, but it says “error generating OTP.” I have no clue on how to bypass this!!
Will I need to apply for a new card which has “valid up to” date or is there any other way around?
Ok thanks for the informention
I have bank account but do not debit card so when i try to set UPI pin then its ask me last 6 digit of debit so kindly tell me any way to set UPI pin wiithout debit card
Currently BHIM app doesn’t work without debit card. So apply for a ATM/debit card.
my a/couple debited 10000 Rs but not transfer other account I complaint for [email protected] but no solution what I can do?
You can contact to the bank branch with your transaction ID.
How can I transfer money from one account to another my own account through BHIM ?
This feature is not currently available in the app. And you can only send or receive money only via selected bank. However you can use your Bank UPI app. So when you want to transfer money from BHIM app to another account then Use Bhim app and transfer money to your Bank UPI app ID. For example I have connected my PNB bank to BHIM app. and before using BHIM I was using iMobile app which is provided by ICICI Bank and my iMobile app id is [email protected] So when I need to transfer money to PNB bank to ICICI then I can use my BHIM app and can transfer money to my ICICI bank provided UPI ID.
okay, thanks for the information.
What to do after receiving money ?
How can it be transferredto my linked bank a/c?
You don’t need to do anything all the money will be automatically transferred to your selected Bank account.
