What role has UPI played in the growth of digital transactions in India since 2016?

UPI changed digital payments in India by making peer-to-peer transactions fast, simple, and accessible for everyone. Its interoperability allowed users to send money between different banks seamlessly, encouraging widespread adoption. The convenience of linking bank accounts to UPI apps eliminated the need for cash handling. Merchants benefitted from low transaction fees and easy integration. This increased digital payments acceptance.

Features like QR codes for instant payments further boosted its popularity among small businesses and users. Government-backed initiatives and incentives encouraged adoption across urban and rural areas. UPI’s inclusion in daily activities like bill payments and e-commerce transactions made it indispensable. By 2023, UPI processed billions of transactions monthly, making it the backbone of India’s digital economy.
