UPI records highest ever monthly transactions at 21.63 Bn in December. Unified Payments Interface processed 21.63 billion transactions in December 2025, the highest monthly transaction count ever recorded on the platform, with a 29% year on year rise in volumes, according to data released by the National Payments Corporation of India. In value terms, UPI transactions stood at Rs 27.97 lakh crore. The platform handled an average of 698 million transactions per day, while the average daily transaction value was Rs 90,217 crore. On a month on month basis, transaction volumes increased from 20.47 billion in November, while transaction value rose from Rs 26.32 lakh crore. In November, UPI had reported 32% YoY growth in volumes and 22% growth in value, with December surpassing all previous months in terms of transaction count. UPI’s continued scale up has been driven by strong adoption across everyday consumer spends and merchant payments. November data showed higher activity across categories such as groceries, food services, telecom and fuel, indicating deeper penetration of digital payments in routine transactions. App wise data for December is yet to be released. However, November figures showed PhonePe strengthening its leadership position, while Google Pay saw a marginal dip in market share. Paytm remained the third largest player, with smaller apps such as Navi, super.money, Cred and BHIM accounting for an increasing share of overall transaction volumes.
