The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has issued new guidelines for UPI-related facilities that will come into effect from April 1.
Banks and other relevant financial institutions will be required to update their databases related to the Mobile Number Revocation List (MNRL) and Digital Intelligence Platform (DIP) weekly.
The guidelines mandate that UPI apps must obtain explicit consent from users before linking or transferring their UPI number to another platform.
The move aims to streamline the overall process and reduce transaction errors caused due to outdated or reassigned mobile numbers.
