UPI Payment

In today's digital age, cash transactions have decreased. From small shops to large malls, most people pay through UPI. Similarly, when paying others, we use UPI. This method has made money transfer very easy.

However, if you enter the mobile number incorrectly while transferring money from your mobile, the money will go to someone else's account. What to do if you accidentally transfer money to someone else? If you mistakenly send money to someone else's account when sending money from UPI or other payment apps, you can easily get it back.

You don't need to go anywhere for this, just make a call from your phone. You can get your money back within 48 hours. Let's find out how?

Digital payments have increased rapidly in the last 5 years. During this period, complaints about wrong transactions have also been continuously coming. Keeping in mind this problem of users, the Reserve Bank has continuously simplified the process of getting money back.

Where and how to complain?

1. If money is transferred to the wrong account through UPI app and net banking, first complain to the toll-free number 18001201740.
