Karnataka partners with NPCI and SBI for enabling and implementing e-RUPI – The Govt of Karnataka has partnered with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the State Bank of India (SBI), and the Department of e-Governance for enabling and implementing e-RUPI. The e-RUPI is a cashless and contactless payment solution provided by NPCI and It will be used to ensure leak-proof delivery transactions.

Benefits the e-RUPI:

Students will scan the QR code or SMS string for redeeming e-RUPI using an application and the digital payment platform e-RUPI will be used to ensure “leak-proof” payment of education fees for students eligible under the scholarship programmes of the Karnataka government. As a part of this process, the Karnataka government will get e-vouchers delivered to the mobiles of eligible students. The voucher code can be received on a feature phone as well. The students will be able to redeem e-RUPI at the identified colleges or institutes for the intended purpose of fees payment.
