Therefore steps are being taken

Let us tell you that NPCI hopes that these new rules will prevent money from being transferred to the account of the wrong person. Many such cases have come to light in recent years. People often change mobile numbers without remembering to deactivate the UPI ID linked to the new phone. Change mobile number without remembering to deactivate another UPI ID. Someone else gets access to the number because it has been locked for a few days. However, only the previous UPI ID remains linked to this number. In such a situation, the possibility of wrong transaction increases significantly. After the new rule, the fear of this danger will also reduce from the new year.
