Revolutionizing UPI with Advanced Biometric Authentication for Visually Impaired Users
摘要
The Advanced Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has revolutionized the digital payment landscape in India, bringing forth significant transformations. This paper investigates the advanced features of UPI, with a specific emphasis on its seamless and real-time fund transfer mechanism tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals who are blind or visually impaired. By incorporating Braille Language into the UPI interface, visually impaired users gain the ability to independently input UPI PIN digits, enabling them to make direct payments from their bank accounts using smart phones. This inclusive design not only enhances accessibility but also aligns with the Digital India initiative, fostering a more inclusive and digitally empowered society by enabling visually impaired users to actively participate in digital payments. Through an exploration of the technical implementation, user experience, and societal impact, this paper underscores the significance of UPI’s inclusive design in promoting financial independence and social integration for the visually impaired community in India.
