A unified payments interface (UPI) has evolved and transformed the digital payments standard in India to the next level. Developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), this online payment system allows users to send and receive payments through UPI IDs, which are unique for everyone. There are certain types of UPI-based payment applications for smartphones through which a payee also receives cashback and interesting offers for making UPI payments to merchants. This payment system is rapid and very easy to use, but only one question creates doubt among users. That is, What is the transaction limit for making UPI payments? They want answers about both daily and per-day transaction limits for different banks.
