India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) processed 22.72 billion transactions worth Rs 28.92 lakh crore in June 2026, marking a slight decline from May's record volumes and value. This moderation is attributed to June having fewer days, while daily average transactions reached an all-time high of 757 million. Year-on-year, transaction volume and value grew by 23% and 20% respectively, reflecting continued growth in digital payments and merchant adoption across urban and rural areas.
