On September 4, the Reserve Bank of India expanded the UPI payment system to allow transactions between pre-approved banks.
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has become an important part of our daily business.
Payment can be easily made within seconds by using net banking and linking to a UPI account. Some users and businesses have switched to UPI payments due to ease of transaction and procedure.
Now you can make UPI transactions only if you have sufficient balance in your bank account or UPI wallet. But now you can pay via UPI even if you don’t have enough money.
