Digital transactions were impacted today due to a widespread Unified Payments Interface (UPI) outage with several users reporting problems in the instant payment interface.
As per DownDetector, a platform that monitors service disruptions based on users’ report, a large number of users flagged the issues with UPI around 11:26 AM.
However, the outage peaked around 11:41 AM, when more than 222 reports poured in about issues with digital payments.
As per social media platform X, many users faced difficulties while making payments on third-party platforms like Paytm and Google Pay, among others.
“UPI is down again today, all payments are getting failed. At least there should be prior intimation sent in case of planned outage,” a user said.
The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is yet to confirm the status of the outage, and the issue is yet to be addressed.
This was the sixth major outage for UPI in the past year.
Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) allowed the NPCI to revise transaction limits for person-to-merchant (P2M) payments on the UPI, earlier this week.
(The story will be updated soon.)
