Making online payments is not only easier but also lets people travel without keeping a lot of cash in their pocket. But there is a limit to the maximum amount of money you can send to someone. Google Pay (GPay) has informed about UPI issuing bank wise limits. From State Bank of India (SBI) to private banks like HDFC, ICICI, and more- there is a transaction limit for all.

What is UPI?

According to the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a system that powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application (of any participating bank), merging several banking features, seamless fund routing and merchant payments into one hood. It also caters to the “Peer to Peer” collect request which can be scheduled and paid as per requirement and convenience.

According to NPCI, the maximum amount a person can pay on a single day via UPI is Rs. one lakh. However, it needs to be noted that the limit varies from bank to bank. Are you aware of the limit? Check details here.
