Unexpectedly since its commencement, Unified Payments Interface or UPI has crossed Rs 4 trillion worth exchanges in a month. As per NPCI, the advanced installments framework has recorded 2.23 billion exchanges adding up to Rs 4,16,176.21 crore or Rs 4.16 trillion in December 2020.

This is a 1% hop in volume and a 6.4% flood in an incentive for UPI from November which had seen 2.21 billion exchanges worth Rs 3,90,999 crore.

Google Pay and PhonePe control over 80% piece of the overall industry in the UPI biological system. As of November, Google Pay had the biggest piece of the pie with 960.02 million exchanges through UPI followed by PhonePe’s 868.40 million.

WhatsApp Pay, which started its rollout for additional clients from early November, recorded simply 3.1 lakh UPI exchanges worth Rs 13.87 crore in the month.

As of late, RBI lead representative Shaktikanta Das had said that NPCI will be given the choice to change over itself into a revenue driven element. As indicated by Das, a revenue driven proposition for NPCI will guarantee that there is a level battleground for new participants and NPCI.

It’s significant that transformation of NPCI into a revenue driven association will require endorsement from the Ministry of Finance, RBI, and a change in the Payment and Settlement Systems Act.
