Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and other digital payment platforms have made transactions cashless, and thus, more convenient than before.

Users often tend to overspend as they have direct access to their bank accounts through their mobiles and are not ‘cash-trapped’.

UPI has no processing or transaction fees for person-to-person (P2P) or person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions, unlike credit and debit cards.
