This decision is part of an effort to ensure that all UPI transactions comply with technical specifications and to improve the overall safety of the digital payments platform. The new rule will require all UPI transaction IDs to be strictly alphanumeric. Any transaction ID containing special characters will be automatically rejected by the system.
