Bank limits for UPI

UPI AutoPay

UPI AutoPay is a unique feature that enables one to make recurring payments like subscriptions or electricity bills below the limit of Rs 5,000/-. This feature automatically deducts the amount every month without the requirement of UPI Pin for such transactions.

Pay Limit of BHIM App

The daily limit for BHIM app transactions is Rs 40,000/- in a single payment in a single day.

New Rules Regarding UPI Fund Transfer

The UPI transactions are free of charge for all users. After demonetization, UPI transactions increased by double. With increasing digitization, people started preferring UPI transactions over carrying cash.

Conclusion

Making payments through UPI comes with restrictions on daily limits. This makes individuals wait for the next day to perform transactions. They can use other payment mediums. The NPCI has not yet increased the transaction limit, and the bank cannot increase the transaction limit, even after requesting.
