Before sending money through UPI, it's important to confirm that you're paying the intended recipient. When you enter a valid UPI ID or scan a UPI QR code in the Paytm app, the recipient's registered name is displayed before you authorize the payment. This helps you verify that the payment is being sent to the correct person.

How to Verify UPI ID in Paytm?

1. Open the Paytm app and select UPI Money Transfer.
2. Enter the recipient's UPI ID or scan their UPI QR code.
3. Wait for Paytm to validate the UPI ID and display the recipient's registered name.
4. Verify that the displayed name matches the person or business you intend to pay.
5. If the details are correct, enter the payment amount and proceed with the transaction.
6. Enter your UPI PIN to complete the payment.

What Should You Check Before Paying?

Before authorising any UPI payment, always verify:

• The recipient's registered name.
• The UPI ID for any spelling mistakes.
• The payment amount.
• That you're paying the correct individual or business.

If the displayed name doesn't match the intended recipient, do not proceed with the payment.

Why Is It Important to Verify the Recipient?

Checking the recipient details before entering your UPI PIN helps you:

• Avoid sending money to the wrong UPI ID.
• Reduce the risk of payment errors.
• Protect yourself from fraudulent or suspicious transactions.

Note: Once a UPI payment is successfully completed, it generally cannot be cancelled or reversed instantly. Always verify the recipient's details carefully before authorising the payment.
