This QR code or SMS voucher can be used only once by the person on whose name it has been issued. The beneficiary can redeem the voucher without a card, digital payments app or internet banking access, at the service provider.

The government wants to use e-RUPI as a “leak-proof delivery of welfare services” that can used for delivering services under schemes meant for providing drugs and nutritional support under Mother and Child welfare schemes, TB eradication programmes, drugs and other diagnostics schemes.

The private sector can use e-RUPI vouchers as part of their employee welfare and corporate social responsibility programs. Your office may issue e-RUPI vouchers to cover healthcare, education, etc and for CSR activities too. The concept is similar to how to travel coupons or meal passes work at your office.
