NOW NO NEED TO KNOW BANK NAME OF RECIPIENT TO TRANSFER MONEY.
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a
system that powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application (of
any participating bank), merging several banking features, seamless fund
routing & merchant payments into one hood. It also caters to the “Peer to
Peer” collect request which can be scheduled and paid as per requirement and
convenience.
With the above context in mind, NPCI conducted a pilot launch with 21 member banks. The pilot launch was on 11th April 2016 by Dr. Raghuram G Rajan, Governor, RBI at Mumbai. Banks have started to upload their UPI enabled Apps on Google Play store from 25th August, 2016 onwards.
