    Read Explanation:

    RuPay is India's domestic card payment network, conceived as a homegrown alternative to international card schemes. Its name is a blend of 'Rupee' and 'Payment'. It is widely accepted across India for ATM withdrawals, Point of Sale (POS) transactions, and online purchases. A key objective behind its launch was to foster a less-cash economy, encouraging the adoption of digital payment methods by Indian banks and financial institutions, as part of an initiative by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
