NFC enabled phones in India
A very welcome to the many visitors from India on this website.
Phones with NFC seems to be popular in India. So I had to make a page with all available NFC enabled handsets in India.
This time not only the problem with the optional chip, which means I have a lot to figure out.
Second problem; several Indian websites publish info about mobile phones with NFC technology.. but some give wrong information because they don’t search enough to find first-hand proof. I know, it’s very annoying searching for hours because the manufacturer isn’t clear about that chip. Other (big) websites can misinform about NFC, but on this website the information about NFC must be correct! Feedback is very welcome.

NFC news in India
Ara eTap from Yeldi softcom
Ara eTap is launched in July 2012. You can get an Ara eTap tag through any mobile SIM seller or the araetap.com website. Just give your mobile number. Using your mobile number, Yeldi personalizes your Ara eTap tag. You will receive a 4 digit customer pin by SMS. You need to load some cash! For now, the limit is Rs. 50,000.
Customers will be given an NFC enabled tap-and-pay tag called Ara eTap. The Ara eTap tag is about 1/4th the size of a credit-card. It contains a secure chip and an antenna. The merchants and retailers will have an Yeldi NFC handset with the Ara eTap application, to receive payments. When you want to make a payment, simply tap your Ara eTap tag to the Yeldi NFC handset and type in your 4-digit pin number. Ara eTap can also be used as a key to access entry doors (on integration); and as a loyalty card for big brands and shopping complexes.
NFC enabled e-Shakti cards in Bihar
NXP together with Glodyne Technoserve, are providing access to banking and social welfare facilities, to Indian citizens living in rural communities. Glodyne Technoserve is the technology service provider of the Indian State Government of Bihar. Residents of Bihar can use their NFC enabled e-Shakti card as their identity card, employment card, and bank card. The e-Shakti project wants to stimulate the rural economy and further develop the Bihar region, improving the economical power of Bihar’s large rural population. Using an end-to-end solution with NFC technology, government officials can register participants as they arrive at work and pay wages directly into their newly created bank accounts. The e-Shakti card brings banking to the unbanked.
Using mobile NFC enabled terminals, a virtual bank can be available in the most rural area. This provides access to full banking services and eliminating the cost and effort required to build physical banks. The terminals also integrate biometrics, GPRS and GPS technologies to connect directly to the bank’s central server. The NFC reader built into the terminals authenticates the user via their contactless SmartMX-based card while biometric data stored on the chip provides an additional level of security.
