You will require.
To use BHIM you need a smartphone. The better the phone is, the better it is in terms of usability of BHIM. You also need an internet connection. PM Modi talks about how BHIM doesn’t require internet. But we are not sure about that bit. Currently you do need internet to install and use BHIM but may be in future the app may work solely with USSD in case internet is not available. But this is one point on which there is not enough clarity.
So to recap: You will require a nice Android phone and you will need internet connection. You will also need a working SIM that is required for number verification.
How to set it up
— Download BHIM app from Google Play store.

— Depending on your internet connection it will take from several seconds to a few minutes to install.
— Once installed, open the app. It has a very simple user interface. It will tell you the purpose of the app and ask you to click Next button several times.
— If there is an error (see the screenshot), try again. The app is right now slightly slow and occasionally fails to connect. But try again.

— If there is an error (see the screenshot), try again. The app is right now slightly slow and occasionally fails to connect. But try again.
— The app will now verify your phone number by sending a message to its servers. Once the number verification is done, it will ask you to set up the BHIM PIN. This is actually the UPI PIN. Set it up.
— The app will now show you the list of banks. Select your bank from the list. Using your phone number, the BHIM app will automatically fetch the details of your bank account.
— The app will also generate a QR code for your ID as well as give you the UPI ID using your number that you can pass around to make transactions.
