Surprisingly, it only took three months for the digital payments platform to reach 4 billion transactions from 3 billion transactions per month.

UPI’s next target is to process $1 billion transactions per day in the next three to five years.  Experts believe that UPI’s AutoPay feature that allows recurring payments of up to RS 5,000 will contribute to achieving the set target.
