UPI users now face a tighter daily cap

NPCI, the body behind India’s UPI payments system, has tightened rules by capping daily transactions per account at 10. This is a drop from the earlier limit of 20, introduced via a circular dated October 21. The move targets artificial, incentive-driven transactions that can distort usage patterns on the platform.
