Dashboard clip for taxi and auto UPI QR cards
Cabs and autos need a QR that a rear-seat passenger can scan without the driver handing over a phone. A spring clip or visor clip beats tape on the glove box. Keep it off the meter and the airbag path.

Dash clip for a compact UPI card. Face it at the passenger, keep it off the meter, and reprint when the sun fades it.
Print a compact card from the cab-driver generator. High contrast, short payee name, optional amount left blank so fares can vary. A fixed-amount QR is only for a flat prepaid hop.
Mount on the passenger-facing side of the dash or on a visor the rider can see. Do not stick vinyl over the meter glass. RTO and app-partner rules still apply — this clip does not replace an official fleet QR if your aggregator issues one.
Carry a spare card. Sun fades dashboard prints fast. A thermal printer in the bag is optional for a paper slip; the clip is the display.

How to set it up
Step 1
Generate a cab card
Use the taxi & auto generator. Leave amount blank unless the hop is a flat fare.
Step 2
Print compact
Matte card, 300 DPI. Laminate lightly if you want wipe-clean; skip thick gloss.
Step 3
Clip facing the rider
Passenger sightline, off the meter. Test-scan from the back seat, not from the driver’s phone.

FAQ
- Can I use my personal UPI ID in a cab?
- Yes within that bank’s personal limits. Fleet or aggregator QRs are a separate requirement if your partner issues one.
- Should the cab QR include a fixed amount?
- Usually no. Fares change. Leave amount blank so the rider types the meter total. Use a fixed QR only for a prepaid hop.
- Vinyl sticker or clip on the dash?
- Clip if you want to move the card between vehicles. Vinyl on a metal panel is fine; magnets fail on plastic dashes.
- Why did the dashboard QR stop scanning?
- Sun fade, a cracked laminate, or a card that slipped behind the meter. Reprint every few months and test from the back seat.
