The correct answer is Bhutan.

  • In News:
    • ​Union Minister of Finance along with her counterpart, the Finance Minister of Bhutan, Mr. Lyonpo Namgay Tshering, jointly launched BHIM–UPI in Bhutan.

  • This launch fulfills the commitment made by the two countries during the Prime Minister of India’s State visit to Bhutan in 2019.
  • Following that visit, India and Bhutan have already enabled inter-operability in acceptance of Rupay cards in each other’s countries in two phases – acceptance of Rupay cards issued in India at Bhutan-based terminals in the first phase, and vice versa in the second phase.
  • With the launch of BHIM-UPI in Bhutan, the payment infrastructures of the two countries are seamlessly connected and will benefit a large number of tourists and businessmen from India who travel to Bhutan each year.
  • Bhutan is the first country to adopt UPI standards for its QR deployment, and the first country in our immediate neighborhood to accept mobile-based payments through the BHIM App.
