Rules Change: National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has increased the limit of high-value transactions through UPI to Rs 10 lakh per day. Investment, insurance, travel, loan and credit card payments can now be made easily. At the same time, the P2P Collect feature will be closed from October 1 to prevent fraud.
India’s digital payment system UPI is constantly achieving new heights. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has now made a big change in it. Under this, users will be able to make high-value transactions of up to Rs 10 lakh daily. At the same time, the P2P Collect Request feature will be completely discontinued from October 1, 2025.
On which transactions has the limit been increased?
Under the new rules, the payment limit has been increased in several categories:
Capital Markets & Insurance: ₹5 lakh per transaction and daily cap ₹10 lakh.
Credit card bill payment: ₹5 lakh per transaction, daily limit ₹6 lakh.
Jewellery purchase: Per transaction limit ₹2 lakh, daily cap ₹6 lakh.
Travel booking, loan repayment and Government e-Marketplace: ₹5 lakh per transaction, daily cap ₹10 lakh.
Hospital and education payments: Daily limit ₹10 lakh, ₹5 lakh per transaction (already in effect).
Investment in government securities: Daily limit fixed at ₹10 lakh.
No change on P2P transactions
The limit for person-to-person (P2P) payments for common people will remain the same as before at ₹ 1 lakh per day. Its purpose is to keep small and everyday transactions safe.
Why is the Collect Request feature being discontinued?
NPCI has said that the P2P Collect Request feature will be discontinued from October 1, 2025. Now people will be able to send money only by scanning the QR code or entering the UPI ID. Actually, the misuse of this feature had increased. Fraudsters were committing fraud by asking for money from people in the name of cashback and reward. This step has been taken to stop this.
Ankit Bagadia of Bankbazaar says that NPCI has increased the limit only for selected verified merchants. This will speed up high-value payments and reduce the risk of fraud. At the same time, ex-banker Sameet Singh said that keeping the limit of P2P transactions at Rs 1 lakh will work as a security for the common people.
What is the benefit to the common people?
Now big dealings like investment, insurance, credit card bills, travel booking and jewellery can be done directly through UPI. This will reduce dependence on slow processes like cheque, RTGS or NEFT. It will be easy for traders and investors to transfer large amounts of money instantly.
