Starting 1st August 2025, some important changes are coming to UPI apps like Paytm, PhonePe, GPay, and others. If you use UPI regularly, it is important to know what will be different. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which manages the UPI system, is bringing in new rules to reduce pressure on the system. These changes will help avoid delays and failed payments during busy hours.
New UPI limits you should know:
- You will only be able to check your account balance 50 times a day through any UPI app.
- You can view your bank account linked to your phone number only 25 times a day on a UPI app.
These limits are being added to reduce unnecessary traffic on the UPI network. This way, the system will work faster and smoother, especially when many people are using it at the same time. It will also help make your transactions more secure.
