UPI P2P Payment Requests Discontinued
Effective October 1, 2025, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) will discontinue the UPI P2P collect request feature, a move aimed at strengthening user protection and reducing fraud across India’s digital payments network. This decision applies only to person-to-person money requests and does not affect the ability to send or receive payments via UPI through push methods like UPI IDs or QR codes. The blog explains what the change entails, the security concerns behind the decision, and how users can continue to use UPI for everyday transactions. It also clarifies that merchant collect requests will remain active, and outlines practical steps users should take to adapt to the new flow of payer-initiated transactions.

RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra reiterated the government’s commitment to maintaining UPI as a zero-cost platform while acknowledging the long-term financial burden of operating such a large-scale system. While UPI remains free, operational costs are currently covered by the government, and future funding models may be explored. The blog also clarifies that GST is not levied on UPI transaction amounts, though it may apply to any separate service fees charged by intermediaries. Overall, the piece explores what the confirmation means for users, how the system is funded, and what may lie ahead for India’s flagship digital payments infrastructure.
