UPI payment: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued a circular in December last year to facilitate digital payments. According to this circular, now OTP will not be required for payment up to Rs 1 lakh.
This means that you can make UPI payment up to Rs 1 lakh without OTP.
However, this facility can be availed for Mutual Fund, Insurance Premium and Credit Card Bill. In such a situation, customers will benefit greatly from it.
