e-RUPI: A game changer or policy incrementalism?

Designed as a digital pre-paid voucher that targets purpose and person(s) for a given transaction, the e-RUPI promises to plug pilferage in welfare schemes, minimise delays and provide ease of access to beneficiaries.

Apparently, all that a person would need is a mobile number.
