PM Modi says, BHIM-Aadhaar set to revolutionise Indian economy

NAGPUR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the BHIM-Aadhaar digital payments platform can revolutionise the Indian economy by enabling each Indian to pay digitally using their biometric data on a smartphone.

Launching the BHIM-Aadhar digital platform here, Modi said it would boost digital payments in a manner unprecedented anywhere in the world and would be a step towards a 'less-cash' economy and combat the black money menace.

Modi said the BHIM-Aadhaar platform would play the same role of empowering the common Indian as the Constitution of India, framed by Bhimrao R. Ambedkar whose 126th birth anniversary is being marked on Friday.
