Questions

Is UPI free?

Normal person-to-person and person-to-shop UPI payments from a bank account are free for the customer.

What if I pay the wrong person?

Contact your bank and raise a complaint in the UPI app with the transaction ID quickly; UPI cannot be reversed by the payer alone.

What do I do after a fraud?

Call 1930 immediately, report at cybercrime.gov.in and inform your bank to block further loss.
