upi_inr

A revolutionary real-time mobile payment system developed and managed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).

How it Works?

  • UPI enables seamless and instant fund transfers between two bank accounts using a virtual payment address (VPA), mobile number, or QR code.
  • Users link their bank accounts to one or more UPI-enabled mobile applications (provided by banks or third-party providers like Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm).
  • A user initiates a payment request through their UPI app by entering the recipient's VPA, mobile number (linked to a bank account via UPI), or by scanning a UPI QR code.
  • The payment is authenticated using a secure PIN (UPI PIN) set by the user for their linked bank account.
  • Once authenticated, the funds are instantly debited from the sender's account and credited to the recipient's account in real-time.
