The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has revolutionized digital payments in India. To make transactions safer and more convenient, the National Payments Corporation of india (NPCI) is introducing new rules from September 15. Users of GPay, PhonePe, and other UPI apps should be aware of these changes to avoid confusion and ensure smooth payments.
1. Daily Transaction Limit Update
The maximum limit per transaction and per day may be revised. Users are advised to check their bank and app limits to avoid transaction failures. This update aims to enhance security and reduce fraud risks.
2. Mandatory bank Name in UPI ID
UPI IDs may now clearly indicate the linked bank name. This ensures better transparency and helps users identify which bank their transaction is going through, reducing mistakes in fund transfers.
3. OTP and Authentication Rules
UPI apps will enforce stronger OTP and authentication processes. While most transactions currently use app-based authentication, some high-value or risky transfers may require additional verification.
4. Real-Time Fraud Alerts
With the new rules, apps like GPay and PhonePe will send instant notifications for suspicious or unusual transactions. Users should review alerts immediately and report any unauthorized activity to their bank.
5. Transaction Categorization & Reporting
UPI transactions may now be categorized for easier tracking, e.g., shopping, bills, or P2P transfers. This helps users monitor spending patterns and simplifies tax or expense reporting if needed.
6. Interoperability & bank Switching
NPCI aims to make UPI even more interoperable, allowing smoother switching between banks for sending and receiving funds. Users can enjoy seamless payments across multiple bank accounts without additional setup.
