UPI has become the most-preferred payment method. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently mentioned that experts are estimating that very soon the country’s digital wallet transactions will overtake cash transactions. “A large number of transactions via UPI demonstrate that this indigenously designed payment system is very secure,” he added.
If you are facing any issue while processing a UPI transaction or accessing a UPI app, including Paytm, Google Pay, and PhonePe, you can file a complaint with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
NPCI allows these complaints under its dispute redressal mechanism.
