UPI Reaches Transactions Worth One Billion In October, Plans To Launch Globally
The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) channel has been reported to have grown the fastest among all modes of retail digital payments.
In a major boost for the Government of India's push for less cash economy, the bellwether of digital payments in India, the United Payments Interface (UPI) transactions in the month of October have already crossed the coveted mark of one billion, reports The Times of India.
The major milestone has been achieved after three years of the launch of the technology-backed payments solution built by the Government of India's National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
With booming adoption and usage in the domestic market, the NPCI has not got the ball rolling for UPI's global roll-out. The institution is presently working to enable the usage of UPI in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to start with.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
