What is UPI
It is worth mentioning that UPI is a real time payment system, which can transfer money to bank account instantly through mobile app. A facility like UPI for digital payment allows you to easily transfer money sitting at home. For this, you only need UPI supporting apps like Paytm, PhonePe, BHIM, Google Pay etc.
Through UPI, you can link one bank account with multiple UPI apps. At the same time, multiple bank accounts can be operated through one UPI app. The special thing is that UPI allows you to transfer money even if you have scanner, mobile number, UPI ID only one of these information.
