The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has introduced new Unified Payments Interface (UPI) rules effective August 1, 2025. Notable changes include daily limits on bank balance inquiries and bank detail retrieval, now capped at 25 attempts per day. UPI apps must provide instant transaction status alerts and scheduled payments within defined time slots to ease backend congestion. These measures aim to enhance user experience and system reliability across platforms like Google Pay and Paytm.
