Earlier, NPCI had allowed Whatsapp Pay to increase the number of users associated with its UPI in a phased manner. There was a limit of 100 million users for WhatsApp. This limit has been removed by NPCI. The notification issued in this regard stated, “The limit of adding users for Whatsapp Pay has been removed. The current UPI guidelines and circus applied to TPAP will continue to follow by WhatsApp Pay.” Along with this, NPCI has extended the deadline for implementing the Limit of Volume related to UPI for two years.
In July this year, NPCI launched the UPI One International Wallet Service for Non-Regent Indians (NRI) and international travelers who visited the country. This will provide the facility to access the UPI by accessing the UPI who do not have an Indian bank account. NPCI has started this in association with IDFC First StorageFacility and Transcorp World Restricted under the guidance of Service Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The NPCI had said that the visitors who visit the country with UPI One International Wallet will be able to make digital payments safely to the travelers of the country. In this, foreign travelers and NRI will have to download a prepaid payment instrument-UPI app. With this, they will be able to make payment through scanning the QR code of merchants using their smartphone camera.
This service can be used for online shopping and travel booking along with merchants and hotels. UPI is also being exposed rapidly abroad. Recently this QR based service was launched in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). For this, NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) signed an agreement with Community World.
