=== Create a QR to receive money ===
If you carry cash, but don't have change, you can create a QR for your UPI id. Take UPI address from an existing QR, replace UPI id with yours and then generate QR for your UPI urls using any online QR generators.
You can show the image on your phone or carry a print out. This can work well for autos and taxies (tried and tested). But in shops it may not work if they have setup to receive only. You can try giving cash to someone, either the worker or another willing customer, they can then do two QR payments (one to shop and then return change to you).
