Banks Propose Confirmation Prompt for High-Risk UPI Transfers to Curb Fraud
Indian banks have proposed a 'Yes-No' prompt for high-risk UPI peer-to-peer transactions to reduce digital payment frauds. This prompt would ask users to confirm suspicious payments before crediting the beneficiary's account instantly. If no response is given, the payment would be delayed by an hour. The Reserve Bank of India is reviewing these suggestions as an alternative to a uniform one-hour delay for all transactions above ₹10,000, aiming to balance fraud prevention with maintaining digital payment convenience and growth.
