Earlier whenever we go out, our Parents used to ask us like,
Did you hold some change?

But, nowadays Parents are asking like
Did you carry your Phone ?

Yeah, It’s true..!!
If you don’t have money, you can’t buy anything.

You went out and ate Pani Puri.
Went to a Salon to cut your Long grown hair.
Shopped for some Groceries outside.!

Now you don’t need to carry any change..!!
“UPI payment option” is truly a game changer. This facility helps in making payments within seconds through UPI on your phone without further need to maintain a heavy purse in your back pocket.

What is UPI Transaction?
The full form of UPI is Unified Payments Interface. It is a real-time payment system that has been developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).

Did you Know..!!
How many transactions were made through UPI alone in May 2023..!
It’s 941.5 Crore transactions.

These are just the number of transactions, not the value.
With this, you can understand the UPI Speed. This number keeps on increasing every month.

Let’s see How many Daily transactions can be done through UPI apps of Phonepe, Paytm, Google Pay, and Amazon Pay and How much amount can be transferred per day..!!

As per the current National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) rules, a person can send daily a Maximum of Rs.1,00,000/- through UPI.

While NPCI has set the Maximum limit, banks have also set their own limits.

In case of the State Bank of India (SBI), you can send a Maximum amount of up to 1,00,000/- per day.
Let’s understand it clearly.

Suppose,
Mr.Raju wants to send the below payments on a single day
1. Rs.50,000/- to Mr. Suresh
2. Rs. 25,000/- to Mahesh on the same day
3. Rs.25,000/- to Ms.Swati on the same day
Can he send all these Payments to them?

Here, Mr.Raju can send Rs.1 Lakh (Rs.50,000 + Rs.25,000 + Rs.25,000) in a single day. The limit clearly mentioned that it’s not the limit of Rs.1 Lakh per person and it’s the limit of Rs.1 Lakh per day. Simply, It is the maximum amount one can send per day of Rs. 1 lakh only.
