UPI Daily Transactions Surpass 800 Million as September Volume Slightly Declines
India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) recorded an average of 802.3 million daily transactions in September, surpassing 800 million for the first time. Total transactions reached 24.07 billion worth Rs 29.37 lakh crore, marking a 22-23% year-on-year increase in volume and an 18-23% rise in value. However, monthly transaction volume and value slightly declined from August, mainly due to September having fewer days. The average transaction value hit a record Rs 97,900 crore daily, while the average transaction size remained around Rs 1,220, reflecting increased use for smaller payments.
