What is UPI?
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a system that powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application (of any participating bank), merging several banking features, seamless fund routing & merchant payments into one hood. It also caters to the “Peer to Peer” collect request which can be scheduled and paid as per requirement and convenience.
With the above context in mind, NPCI conducted a pilot launch with 21 member banks. The pilot launch was on 11th April 2016 by Dr. Raghuram G Rajan, Governor, RBI at Mumbai. Banks have started to upload their UPI-enabled Apps on the Google Play store from 25th August 2016 onwards.

What is a UPI-PIN?
UPI-PIN (UPI Personal Identification Number) is a 4-6 digit passcode that you can create/set during first-time registration with this App. You have to enter this UPI-PIN to authorize all bank transactions. If you have already set up a UPI-PIN with other UPI Apps you can use the same on BHIM.
Note:
- Banks issued MPIN is different from the UPI UPI-PIN,
- Please generate a new UPI-PIN in the BHIM app
- Please do not share your UPI-PIN with anyone.
- BHIM does not store or read your UPI-PIN details and your bank’s customer support will never ask for it.
What happens if I enter wrong UPI-PIN during a transaction?
In case you enter the wrong UPI PIN, the transaction will fail. In case you input the wrong UPI PIN multiple times, the bank may temporarily block sending money using UPI from my account (this varies from bank to bank).
I have selected the Bank name to link with UPI but it does not find my bank A/C?
In such a case, please ensure that the mobile number linked to your bank account is the same as the one verified in any UPI App. If it is not the same, your bank accounts will not be fetched by the UPI platform.
How do I pay an online merchant through UPI?
When you shop online, you can pay through UPI when you see UPI as a payment option. On clicking that, you will need to enter your Payment Address (eg – xyz@upi). Once entered, you will receive a collect request on your BHIM app. Enter your UPI-PIN here and your payment will be complete. As easy as this!
Do money transfers happen on UPI only during banking hours?
All payments are instant and 24/7, regardless of your bank’s working hours.
I have paid for my transaction but not received anything. Why is that?

At present, the upper limit per UPI transaction is Rs.1 Lakh.
What happens if I forget my pin?
In case someone forgets the UPI pin, he needs to re-generate a new UPI pin using his debit card details (the last six digits of their debit card & expiry date).
Will I be able to use UPI after I change my sim or mobile?
In case of change in sim/mobile/application of the PSP, customers would require to re-register themselves for UPI.
What if I change my handset?
If you change your handset, you will need to:
- Download the PSP app again
- Register through mobile verification
- Your VPA will be auto saved
What if I lose my phone?
If you lose your phone, the UPI-PIN is required to authorize all transactions which will not be known to any third person, and hence they will not be able to use the UPI app. In addition, please contact our customer support at your bank in the event you lose your phone.
My UPI transaction has failed but my bank account has been debited?
In case of failure, money will be refunded back to your account. Sometimes this takes longer than intended. If you do not receive the refund within 1 hour, please contact customer support at your bank.
