The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) will implement new UPI rules starting Friday, August 1, to improve app performance and reduce fraud.<\/p>\n
NPCI aims to make UPI faster, safer, and more reliable through these updates.<\/p>\n
The changes apply to all major UPI platforms like Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm.<\/p>\n
Users will now be limited to 50 bank balance checks per day, and balance may be shown with every transaction. Auto payments will only be processed during non-peak hours to reduce system load. Bank details can be accessed up to 25 times daily, and the recipient\u2019s registered name will be shown before each transfer to prevent mistakes.<\/p>\n
