Govt to decide on cashless UPI for foreign pilgrims at Simhasth

Efforts have already begun to enable foreign pilgrims to attend Simhasth Mahakumbh 2028 in a ‘cashless’ manner. Foreign pilgrims can go cashless at the Simhasth Mahakumbh only if the ‘UPI KYC’ and visitor wallet facility are made available to them. Towards this end, FoMP submitted a memorandum through Kartik Pande, Deputy High Commissioner of India in London, United Kingdom, and the High Commission of India has now taken up this memorandum for processing. It is now for the Government of India to act on it.
