The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has significantly increased UPI transaction limits for select categories of digital payments. Effective September 15, 2025, users can now transact up to ₹10 lakh in 24 hours for specific verified merchant categories.

These changes apply exclusively to Person-to-Merchant (P2M) payments involving verified merchants. Person-to-Person (P2P) limits remain unchanged at ₹1 lakh per day. Member banks can further customise limits based on internal risk policies.
