NPCI to deactivate THESE UPI IDs by December 31, 2023

Livemint · 1y

The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has instructed payment applications to deactivate UPI IDs that have been inactive for over a year by December 31, 2023. This is to prevent inadvertent fund transfers when customers switch their mobile numbers without unlinking them from their banking system. Third-party app providers and payment service providers must take necessary actions, and users must verify and update their UPI IDs and associated phone numbers accordingly. Deactivated UPI IDs and phone numbers must be re-registered for inward credit transactions.
