- There is no contact between the e-service providers and the beneficiaries too.
- The service is prepaid in nature as it ensures that the payment is made to the service provider after the transaction is completed.
- As it is prepaid no intermediary is required and the payment to the service provider is hassle free.
- It is a one-time payment mechanism and it allows the users to redeem the voucher without a card or any digital payment apps or internet banking.
