What is UPI Lite

The Reserve Bank of India in September 2022 launched UPI Lite which is a digital account designed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to facilitate faster and easier transactions for low-value transfers. UPI Lite is a distinguished feature that will make regular transactions like payments for low-value shopping such as groceries or low-priced single items smooth and fast, according to a blog post by Paytm.

Paytm's UPI Lite enables users to carry out transactions up to Rs. 200, with a maximum cumulative limit of Rs. 4000. As per the blog post, the UPI Lite app has a maximum balance limit of Rs. 2000 at any given time. A maximum of Rs. 2000 can be added to the UPI Lite account twice daily. This allows for a cumulative transaction limit of Rs. 4000 in a day. Users can make multiple transactions within the maximum UPI Lite transaction limit.

"A user can load Rs. 2000 in the UPI Lite app and utilize the available balance to conduct transactions until it is fully utilized. The maximum allowed value per transaction is Rs. 200. Therefore, a user can make multiple transactions until the limit is reached. However, if the user requires further transactions on the same day, they may add another Rs. 2000 to their UPI Lite account,"Paytm informed.

Users can activate UPI Lite on the Paytm app by linking the bank account that supports this feature. Once the linking process is complete, users can add funds up to Rs. 2000, and a maximum of Rs. 4000 per day to their UPI Lite account. Transactions made through the UPI Lite account will be deducted from the UPI Lite account and not from the linked bank account. Notably, every time a transaction is carried out through UPI Lite, an SMS notification will be sent to the user.
