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.
