Let’s look at all the important updates you should know.


UPI Payments Now in Just 10 Seconds
Starting this week, UPI payments will now be completed in just 10 to 15 seconds, instead of 30 seconds earlier. This change will help users:
- Send and receive money faster
- Get payment status quickly
- Experience less waiting during transactions
The new system will also validate the UPI address in 10 seconds (earlier it took 15 seconds).
Check Account Balance Up to 50 Times a Day
Until now, there was no limit on how many times you could check your bank balance using UPI. But now, you can check your account balance 50 times in a day.
Why this change?
- To improve system efficiency
- To reduce unnecessary server load
- To give users a smoother experience
For most users, 50 times is more than enough in a day.
UPI Will Show Real Beneficiary Names Only
To reduce the risk of fraud and increase trust, UPI apps must now show only the final beneficiary’s real name when making payments.
This means:
- You will see the correct name of the person you are sending money to
- Fake or edited names will no longer be shown in UPI apps

Users Can No Longer Change Beneficiary Names in UPI Payment Apps

This is done to:
- Avoid confusion
- Stop possible fraud
- Make UPI more secure
UPI Use in India is at an All-Time High
In May 2025 alone:
- UPI recorded 1,868 crore transactions
- Total value of transactions crossed ₹25.14 lakh crore
This shows how much people in India trust and use UPI every day.
