Questions on Zapit BCH-to-UPI Feature

Questions on Zapit BCH-to-UPI Feature

By Debesh Choudhury | TechFuture | 4 Sep 2023


I read posts on the Zapit-dot-io cryptocurrency wallet system.

  • Long ago, I saw a video of Romit Goswami, CEO of Zapit-dot-io, presenting the BCH-to-UPI (Unified Payments Interface) payment feature of Zapit's cryptocurrency wallet at the BitcoinCash conference in St. Kitts. That has partial information.

I have some questions about their BCH-to-UPI payment feature that are unanswered on the Zapit website or any blog.


 

The BCH-to-UPI payment feature appears to be excellent, BUT ...

  • When we see the feature of Zapit that can do an on-the-fly conversion of BCH to INR and make payments via UPI, it appeals so much!

However, there is little information about the following:

  1. Does the buyer require a UPI account using an Indian SIM card number?

  2. Does the BCH to INR conversion put the converted INR into the person's Indian bank account before the final payment to the merchant's UPI account?

  3. Does the Indian income tax regulation record the BCH-to-UPI payments, i.e., are there any direct tax deductions at source for such payments?

  4. Is BCH-to-UPI payment partially centralized?

All such information regarding BCH-to-UPI payment is essential for people adopting this payment app.


 

Conclusion

  • It is not clear whether the BCH-to-UPI payment feature of the Zapit wallet system is (1) connected with the users' SIM card number, (2) bank account, (3) regulated by the Indian Income Tax Department, and (4) partially centralized.

All this information could have been there in the FAQ section of the Zapit website.


 

Postscript

I sent a LinkedIn message to Romit Goswami, CEO of Zapit-dot-io, on LinkedIn but didn't receive any response!

I will be happy if any user of Zapit's BCH-to-UPI payment can share their experience.

I hope the entire blogging community will strive here and elsewhere.
