UPI is an instant payment system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). It allows users to transfer funds instantly between two bank accounts.
UPI is the system that allows apps like Google Pay, Paytm, PhonePe,Moneyview UPI, etc to be able to make instant transactions from your smartphone.
NPCI is an initiative of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the India Banks’ Association (IBA) that functions as an organization for operating retail payments and settlements in India.
It is a not-for-profit organization under Section 8 of the Companies Act 2013. It intends to provide infrastructure to the payment and settlement systems for the entire banking sector in India.
Most UPI users eventually face some sort of transaction issue. Sometimes, these issues are caused by technical glitches, bank downtimes, incorrect UPI PINs, insufficient balance, incorrect details of the receiver, and poor internet connection.
These problems usually either get resolved on their own or once the user enters the correct details. But sometimes users may need to raise a complaint to resolve issues during transactions such as:
Amount debited but not credited to beneficiary’s account
Transaction failed by amount debited
Incorrectly transferred to another account
Transaction timed out but the amount debited from the account
Fraudulent transaction
Transaction pending
Transaction not permitted
Transaction declined
Threshold exceeded
Users may also face PIN, account, registration, or SMS-related problems.
For these issues, you can use the UPI dispute redressal mechanism. If the problem is still not resolved, you can approach the banking ombudsman or the ombudsman for digital complaints.
As digital transactions continue to grow, being informed about how to handle potential issues is crucial for maintaining a smooth and secure payment experience.
Filing a UPI complaint is a straightforward process that ensures users can resolve any issues they encounter during digital transactions. Utilizing the UPI dispute redressal mechanism and reaching out to the NPCI helpline or email support can provide additional assistance when needed.
