Limit introduced for UPI transactions Â
New clauseÂ
The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system, the government’s favorite mobile application to boost digital transactions, comes with a clause now. A user can make only 10 transactions per bank account per day. If a person has more than one bank account, even if they are linked with same mobile number, one can make more than 10 transactions per day.
BHIM, Google Pay and Paytm users will also face the limit as they use UPI to transfer and receive funds. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has introduced the clause as part of new checks and balances, believing that it will encourage genuine transactions in UPI.
