The Unified Payment Interface (UPI) is a smartphone-based fund transfer that allows bank customers to send and receive money using a single UPI ID. Within a 24-hour span, the overall limit for UPI transactions is Rs 1 lakh or 10 transactions per bank account. The 10-transaction cap applies only to fund transfers and does not apply to bill payment or merchant transactions. However, the cap varies by bank, but it is fairly similar for most of them. , UPI registration must be done in 30 seconds or less. If it takes longer than 30 seconds to register, you will receive a validation error. As a result, we ask that you complete the registration process in under 30 seconds.

What is UPI ID?

UPI ID is a unique identifier for your bank account that can be used to send and receive payments through UPI. A UPI ID, also known as a Virtual Payment Address (VPA), is a one-of-a-kind identifier used to send and receive money through UPI. A user with a UPI ID (linked to a UPI-enabled bank) will receive money in his bank account without having to share his account number or other personal information. The consumer simply needs to share his UPI ID with the payer in order to obtain payment into his bank account.
Different apps can have different UPI IDs. Paytm, for example, made it in the format of yourphonenumber@paytm. Your UPI ID in other apps can vary depending on the bank with which you've connected your account.
For example, abc@hdfcbank, where "abc" is your phone number or with your name yourname@bankname.
