UPI faced downtime for several hours on Sunday due to technical glitch

Unified Payments Interface (UPI), one of the most used payments platforms in the country to make peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions and peer-to-merchant (P2M) transactions, faced downtime on Sunday for several hours due to intermittent technical glitch.

The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which operates UPI, put out a statement on their twitter handle saying, “Regret the inconvenience to UPI users due to intermittent technical glitch. UPI is operational now, and we are monitoring the system closely”.

Sources said, UPI was operational after 5 PM on Sunday. There were multiple level hardware failures which is why UPI faced downtime.
