What is UPI?
UPI (Unified Payments Interface) is a real-time payment system that allows you to send and receive money instantly between bank accounts using a smartphone. It works by linking your bank account with a UPI ID, mobile number, or QR code, allowing you to make digital payments without sharing your bank account details. UPI can be used for money transfers, bill payments, recharges, and everyday transactions.
