UPI Limit: The Reserve Bank of India has given a good gift to UPI users on Wednesday. RBI has announced that the limit for offline digital payments through UPI Lite has been increased. Under this, the limit of UPI wallet is being increased from Rs 2000 to Rs 5000.
Apart from this, the limit per transaction in ‘UPI Lite’ has been increased from Rs 500 to Rs 1000. At present the upper limit of transaction in offline payment was Rs 500 and with this the total limit of offline transaction on this payment mode at any time is Rs 2000. Another big advantage of this is that through UPI Lite, you can make payments up to Rs 5000, so every small payment will not be visible in your bank statement.
