Guidelines for Refunds and Compensation on Failed UPI Transactions in India
UPI payments can sometimes fail despite debiting the sender's account due to technical issues across banks and payment systems. The Reserve Bank of India mandates refund timelines: one day for person-to-person transfers and five days for person-to-merchant payments. If refunds are delayed beyond these periods without customer fault, banks must compensate Rs 100 per day. Users are advised to check transaction status before retrying payments and keep transaction details to facilitate complaints and refunds.
