Upcoming Launch of Unified Payments Interface (UPI)

We are moving steadily towards a cashless economy. We are already quite familiar with the notion of digital money. Keeping aside the pros and cons of this paradigm shift, Indian Financial System sees this as a good sign with solid support from the Government. In a recent discussion with Limit, Mr. A P Hota, CEO and MD of National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) stated they expect the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) to go live in April this fiscal.


The NCPI manages the Rupay payments structure that permits various lenders to connect as well as handle fund transactions. The notion of every fiscal tools having a sole identity on the UPI, which shall then be utilized to conveniently and easily accomplish online disbursements. The UPI is like your personal email ID for your assets. Talk about making an already quick-easy online payment system even more so. You won’t need to use account numbers and IFSC Code too.
