Introduction
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a portal developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to facilitate interoperability between banks. This is a one-stop solution for using separate bank accounts to carry out transfers from a single app.
UPI stands for Unified Payment Interface (UPI). It enables money to be immediately transferred via a mobile phone from one bank account to another. Payments can only be rendered via supporting mobile phone apps. The cash transactions through UPI are available 24x7.
IndusInd Pay is the UPI application of IndusInd Bank. Unified Payments Interface allows all holders of bank accounts (UPI banks) via a single Virtual Payment Address (VPA) ID and mobile portal to send and receive money without the need to keep track of any beneficiary data, or use the UPI to perform commercial transactions. It allows IndusInd Bank account holders to make payments instantly from any bank account, using only the Virtual Payment Address, without any need to know other specifics of the recipient.
In order to use UPI for your payments, you need to have a bank account in India with your mobile number linked to that bank account. UPIs allow you to link multiple bank accounts to your single IndusInd Bank UPI account. Some other popular apps that provide UPI payment are BHIM created by NPCI, and certain private companies such as Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, etc. Make sure you have your mobile number listed for authentication on your bank account.
BHIM IndusPay UPI App is the official app to use IndusIndPay UPI features. This app is available on Google Play Store for free download.

3. Can I connect more than one account to a single VPA account?

6. What are some of the reasons for the UPI transaction to fail?

- The system must have been down
- False UPI PIN
- Incorrect receiver UPI ID
- If the recipient is not on the Bharat Money Interface
7. What happens if my phone is lost or stolen?
If you lose your phone, the UPI PIN needed to approve all transactions would not be known to a third party and will therefore not be able to use the Bharat Interface for Money. In addition, you have to contact the customer service department at your bank to make sure that your account is not misused.
8. What's the UPI PIN?
UPI PIN (UPI Personal Identification Number) is a 4 to 6-digit secret code that you create/set when you first register with this app. You must enter this UPI PIN to approve all bank transfers. If you have already set up a UPI PIN for other UPI Services, you can use the same for Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) Banks given MPIN are different from the UPI PIN. Please use the Bharat Interface for Money app to create a new UPI-PIN. Please don't share your UPI PIN with anybody else. Bharat Interface for Money does not store or read your UPI PIN data, and the customer service of your bank will never ask for it.
