How does UPI work? Explain with an example.

Verified Answer

UPI enables fast, secure digital fund transfers. For example, when Kumar buys vegetables from Piyush, he scans Piyush's QR code using a payment application, enters his UPI PIN and amount. The application sends a payment request to Kumar's bank, which forwards it to NPCI. NPCI verifies the PIN, processes the transfer, and funds reach Piyush's bank account instantly, making transactions effortless and cashless.
