The Unified Payments Interface (UPI), developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), represents a transformative milestone in the Indian financial landscape. Launched in April 2016, UPI has dramatically altered the way people conduct financial transactions, paving the way for a cashless economy. Its innovative design and widespread adoption have positioned India as a global leader in digital payments. UPI is a real-time payment system that facilitates inter-bank transactions through a mobile platform. UPI allows users to transfer money instantly, 24/7, including weekends and holidays. This real-time capability ensures that transactions are processed immediately, providing instant confirmation to both the sender and the receiver. UPI consolidates multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application, streamlining the fund routing and merchant payments process. Users can link several bank accounts to one app, simplifying their financial management. The system uses a single-click two-factor authentication process, relying on a secure virtual payment address (VPA) instead of sensitive bank account details. This enhances security while maintaining user convenience. UPI supports a wide range of transactions, including person-to-person (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) payments. It can be used for bill payments, online shopping, and in-store purchases, making it highly versatile.
