You can create a UPI account without a debit card by using Aadhaar-based authentication. This facility, introduced by NPCI, allows you to set your UPI PIN using your Aadhaar details.
To set up your account, follow these steps:
- Ensure your mobile number is linked to both your bank account and Aadhaar.
- Open your UPI app and select the option to add a bank account.
- Choose Aadhaar-based verification instead of a debit card.
- Enter the first six digits of your Aadhaar number.
- Validate using the OTPs received from UIDAI and your bank to set your UPI PIN.
