The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has extended the credit on UPI facility to small finance banks, previously available only to scheduled commercial banks. This initiative, launched in September 2023, allows users to access instant credit through UPI apps, enhancing financial inclusion, especially for customers in small towns and rural areas. The move aims to provide convenient digital credit access for 'new-to-credit' customers, promoting broader financial participation.
UPI transactions surged 34.5% in value to Rs 122 lakh crore during April-September, with a volume increase of 46% to 8,566.52 crore, as reported by Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary. However, 6.32 lakh fraud cases valued at Rs 485 crore were recorded, prompting the government and financial institutions to implement measures like device binding, two-factor authentication, and AI-based fraud monitoring to enhance security.
India"s payments ecosystem is focusing on migrating low-ticket transactions to UPI Lite, according to NPCI CEO Dilip Asbe. The Reserve Bank of India has also increased the transaction limit for UPI123Pay from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 and raised the UPI Lite wallet limit to Rs 5,000, with a per-transaction cap of Rs 1,000.
Paytm's parent company, One 97 Communications, has received approval from the NPCI to onboard new UPI users, ending a nine-month embargo by the RBI. This development comes after the company reported a net profit of ₹930 crore in Q2FY25, largely due to a one-time gain from selling its movie ticketing business, although it would have otherwise faced a net loss of ₹415 crore. Despite a 5% rise in stock this year, Paytm has underperformed compared to Nifty's 12% returns.

Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
