Many of you would have already heard about the next digital payment initiative by Indian Government called BharatQR codes. BharatQR code is an QR scheme similar to PayTM QR codes which a merchant can print and put it on his/her shop and customers can pay by scanning the QR code using his/her mobile easily.
In India, QR code based payments have already proved successful due to excessive marketing of PayTM. BharatQR codes seems to be building on top of that and has a good chance for taking over the pole position from PayTM.
BharatQR supports quick and easy digital payment using Visa, Mastercard, Rupay Card and American Express. That basically includes every debit and credit card in India and hence is not tied to a specific bank or organization. Moreover due to government push, every bank mobile app will soon have an option to pay using BharatQR.
But as everybody knows, India is a price sensitive country and real success of BharatQR will depend not just on technology or its reach, but also on the charges and fee charged for BharatQR code based payments. And will they be competitive of Paytm or not?
BharatQR is the new QR code based payment method launched by Indian Government in collaboration with Visa and MasterCard. Using BharatQR code based payments, the merchants don't need to install a costly POS(Point of sale) machine in their shop. They need to just display BharatQR code (they can take the printout in Rs 2 at any printer or xerox shop).

Earlier QR code has been successfully used by PayTM to enable payments at retails or merchants.

BharatQR code fixes this problem and democratizes the QR code for indian masses.
