Banks facing disruption in UPI services, says NPCI

Some of the banks experienced Unified Payment System (UPI) connectivity disruptions due to internal technical issues, National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) said.

NPCI, the umbrella organisation for operating retail payments and settlement systems in the country, said it was working with such lenders to resolve the issue.

“Regret inconvenience on UPI connectivity as few of the banks are having some internal technical issues. NPCI systems are working fine and we are working with these banks to ensure quick resolution,” NPCI wrote on the site X.

“We experienced some difficulties on UPI which seems to be part of a larger ecosystem. We are back in operations now and regret any inconvenience faced,” HDFC Bank said on X.

UPI, the real-time payment system, powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application (of any participating bank), merging several banking features, seamless fund routing and merchant payments into one hood.
