The government has simplified and broadened the use of e-Rupi by loosening some standards. Until the whole amount of a pre-paid digital voucher is redeemed, the RBI increased the ceiling on pre-paid digital vouchers from Rs 10,000 to Rs 1 lakh.
The central and state governments hope to broaden the scope of their benefit distribution by making this change. e-Rupi can be supplied to those who don't have a bank account.
Each voucher was limited to Rs 10,000 and may only be used once; e-RUPI uses the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) technology. COVID-19 vaccinations are the primary application of e-RUPI vouchers at the moment. Other use cases are being actively considered by various state and central government departments and ministries.
