"Nearly 125 lakh people have adopted the BHIM app. Government will launch two new schemes -- a referral bonus and a cash back scheme for merchants -- to promote the use of BHIM," Jaitely said while presenting the Union Budget 2017-18 in the Lok Sabha.

Launched on December 30, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI)-based BHIM app is currently available on Google's Play Store.
