The JioSoundPay feature aims to revolutionise the merchant experience by delivering instant, multilingual audio confirmations for each UPI payment. This enhancement facilitates smooth and efficient operations for even the tiniest Kirana shops, vegetable sellers, and roadside food stalls.

Existing small and micro merchants pay around Rs 125 a month for a sound box. Now, with JioSoundPay being provided FREE, JioBharat users will save Rs 1,500 annually.

The JioBharat phone, launched over a year ago, is the world’s most affordable 4G phone, available for only Rs 699. Thus, any merchant purchasing a new JioBharat phone can recover the entire price of the phone in just six months.

This initiative reflects Jio’s steadfast commitment to Digital India. It aims to transform the country into a digital society and ensure that technology benefits our nation’s core—its diligent entrepreneurs.

To commemorate 75 years of India’s Republic, Jio presents contemporary renditions of Vande Mataram on JioSoundPay, a soulful tribute that blends timeless melodies with modern musical elements. Jio invites all Indians to experience this modern masterpiece by setting it as their JioTune via the MyJio app or JioSaavn.

“Jio believes in leveraging technology to empower every Indian,” said Sunil Dutt, President of Jio. “With the free JioSoundPay feature on JioBharat and the soulful renditions of Vande Mataram, we celebrate the spirit of India and reaffirm our commitment to building a truly Digital India.”
