Let's showcase to the world the joy of embracing UPI and the transformative power it holds.

This challenge is open to all bank account holders and valid Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPIs). 🏦

The only requirement is to have an account with a bank on the UPI Platform or a PPI ready for UPI interoperability. 🔄

 

🤔 **What are Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPIs)? **

PPIs are versatile payment methods that enable users to purchase goods and services, as well as send/receive money using stored value in the wallet. Users preload the wallet with the desired amount, and it can be done against cash, debiting the bank account, or using credit/debit cards, UPI, or other approved payment methods in India. PPIs can only be used in Indian rupees and can take various forms like mobile wallets, physical smart cards, secure tokens, vouchers, or any method that grants access to prepaid funds.

 

🤓 **What does Prepaid Payment Instruments on UPI imply? **

Prepaid instruments in the form of wallets can now be linked to UPI, creating interoperable wallets on UPI rails. Full-KYC PPI wallets can be linked to UPI through the PPI Issuer's app for making PPI payments. This means users can transact using Scan and Pay on all UPI interoperable QR codes, make intent payments at UPI-enabled online merchants, and send/receive money to other wallet users or bank accounts.

 

Embrace the UPI Challenge, set new records, and let's collectively elevate the UPI experience for everyone! 🚀💸 #UPIChallenge #Day5Success

In one of the biggest operational shifts in Indian banking history , the Reserve Bank of India is about to make cheques move almost as fast as digital payments.

This isn’t just an upgrade to the back office — it’s a game-changer for trust, liquidity, and cash flow in the Indian banking system.   RBI to Roll Out Continuous Cheque Clearing from October 4, 2025 — Faster Credit, Same-Day Settlements The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is set to modernise the Cheque Truncation System (CTS) by moving from batch-based cheque proces...
