What's the story

In a game-changing move, Reliance Jio has introduced a new feature, JioSoundPay, exclusively for its JioBharat devices.

The innovative service is aimed at helping India's 50 million small-scale merchants.

With the new feature, users will get free, instant, and multilingual audio confirmations for every UPI payment.

It is aimed at simplifying business for small vendors, kirana stores, and roadside eateries across the country.

Financial benefits

JioSoundPay: A cost-effective solution for small merchants

Traditionally, small merchants have been shelling out ₹125/month on sound boxes to get UPI payment alerts.

With JioSoundPay, users of the JioBharat devices can save as much as ₹1,500/year.

The company said that this feature enables small merchants to recover the entire cost of their phone in just six months, making it an extremely cost-effective solution.
