Bank of Baroda UPI — bob e-Pay

Eligible funding source
bob e-Pay can link eligible Savings, Current and OD accounts from banks live on UPI where account mode/mobile requirements are met. UPI Lite, UPI Circle and RuPay-credit-card UPI are separate funding/authority states.
Registration
Register with the same mobile number used by the linked bank account, complete app SMS/mobile verification, create VPA/login PIN, add the eligible account and set UPI PIN using the linked debit-card/issuer authentication flow.

Canara Bank UPI — Canara ai1Pe

Eligible funding source
Canara ai1Pe can link Canara or other UPI-enabled bank accounts. Account-funded UPI, UPI Lite stored value, delegated UPI Circle authority and RuPay-credit-card merchant payments remain separate payment states.

P2P/P2PM and ordinary P2M: ₹1 lakh per transaction and ₹1 lakh/day, 20 transactions/day/account. Specified-MCC P2M: ₹2 lakh per transaction/day. IPO and RBI Retail Direct collect: ₹5 lakh per transaction and ₹15 lakh/day. USSD (*99#): ₹5,000 per transaction/day.
Security cooling
Current table: after setting/resetting UPI PIN and fresh registration/re-verification of device, fund transfer is limited to ₹5,000. The security section describes ₹5,000 for the new user's first transaction; the live app remains controlling if additional risk restrictions apply.

UPI Circle delegates spending authority without transferring ownership, and Canara's RuPay-credit-card-on-UPI limits are kept separate from deposit-account P2P/P2M limits.

Type-specific banking comparison terms for Bank of Baroda UPI — bob e-Pay and Canara Bank UPI — Canara ai1Pe
Decision factorBank of Baroda UPI — bob e-PayCanara Bank UPI — Canara ai1Pe
App / channelbob e-Pay, Bank of Baroda's UPI app, can link eligible accounts from UPI-live banks and supports QR, Send/Collect, account+IFSC, Global UPI, Tap & Pay, Lite, AutoPay, RuPay credit cards and UPI Circle.Canara ai1Pe is a multi-bank UPI app supporting Canara and other UPI-enabled bank accounts, with UPI Circle, AutoPay, UPI Lite, merchant payments, analytics and QR flows.
RegistrationRegister with the same mobile number used by the linked bank account, complete app SMS/mobile verification, create VPA/login PIN, add the eligible account and set UPI PIN using the linked debit-card/issuer authentication flow.Download ai1Pe, verify mobile number by SMS, set app passcode, link the eligible bank account and activate using debit card or Aadhaar OTP before setting the UPI PIN.
AuthenticationTwo-factor/device-binding controls apply. bob e-Pay supports UPI PIN for ordinary transactions and current features include biometric/face-authentication paths for selected UPI PIN/transaction journeys; Lite has its own PIN-less small-value state.Ordinary UPI uses UPI PIN plus device/account controls. Canara UPI Lite permits eligible payments up to ₹1,000 without UPI PIN after Lite enablement; delegated/card-funded flows use their own authorization rules.
Standard limitsP2P/P2PM and ordinary P2M: ₹1 lakh per transaction and ₹1 lakh/day, 20 transactions/day/account. Specified-MCC P2M: ₹2 lakh per transaction/day. IPO and RBI Retail Direct collect: ₹5 lakh per transaction and ₹15 lakh/day. USSD (*99#): ₹5,000 per transaction/day.P2P: ₹1 lakh per transaction and ₹1 lakh/day, max 20/24h.

QR from gallery: ₹2,000 per transaction / ₹10,000 daily, max 5/day.
Security coolingCurrent table: after setting/resetting UPI PIN and fresh registration/re-verification of device, fund transfer is limited to ₹5,000. The security section describes ₹5,000 for the new user's first transaction; the live app remains controlling if additional risk restrictions apply.New UPI user on any enabled app with Canara remitter: Android first 24 hours up to ₹5,000; iOS first 72 hours up to ₹15,000 total, limited to ₹5,000 in each 24-hour cycle.
UPI Litebob e-Pay offers UPI Lite, but the bank page still displays legacy ₹500/₹2,000/₹4,000 numbers in its FAQ. Current RBI/NPCI limits are therefore used for current system context—₹1,000 per transaction and ₹5,000 stored balance—while the stale bank copy is surfaced as an evidence conflict rather than silently overwritten.Current Canara terms: ₹1,000 per UPI Lite transaction, ₹5,000 maximum Lite balance and ₹10,000 cumulative daily spend. Lite is an on-device balance enabled from one eligible linked account and does not require UPI PIN for eligible Lite payments.
RuPay credit-card UPIbob e-Pay can link eligible RuPay credit cards from participating issuers. Bank FAQ states credit-card UPI is only for P2M and carries no linking/transaction fee from bob e-Pay; available credit and issuer/UPI restrictions still apply.Canara's current UPI debit table separately lists RuPay credit-card-on-UPI merchant/special-category P2M at ₹2 lakh per transaction and ₹3 lakh/day. Linking uses eligible RuPay card details/OTP and a 6-digit UPI PIN; this card-funded ceiling does not alter P2P account limits.
AutoPay / mandatesUPI AutoPay is supported and mandates can be managed in-app. Recurring instructions remain a separate authorization lifecycle from one-off P2P/P2M limits.Canara explicitly supports UPI Mandate/AutoPay for recurring/future payments and separately documents higher no-additional-factor e-mandate processing for specified merchant categories under current rules.
Failure / recoverybob e-Pay provides dispute management/history, real-time/settlement reversals and complaint paths. More than three wrong UPI PIN attempts can cause temporary blocking and repeat failures can require UPI PIN regeneration; device/SIM changes require re-registration.Device change/Lite disablement has a defined balance-return process in Canara's Lite terms. Account/app support and UPI dispute/reversal processes apply for failed transactions, while re-registration can trigger the documented cooling state.

Bank of Baroda

Bank of Baroda UPI — bob e-Pay

  • After setting/resetting UPI PIN or fresh registration/re-verification of a device, bob e-Pay's current table caps fund transfer at ₹5,000; the bank also describes the new-user first transaction as ₹5,000.
  • Bank of Baroda's current page still contains stale UPI Lite FAQ numbers of ₹500 per payment / ₹2,000 balance / ₹4,000 daily even though the current RBI/NPCI framework is ₹1,000 per transaction / ₹5,000 stored balance. v1.37 flags the conflict instead of publishing stale launch-era limits as current.
  • bob e-Pay UPI Circle Full Delegation is capped at ₹15,000/month and ₹5,000/transaction and applies a 30-minute cooling period after linking; Partial Delegation still requires primary-user authorization via UPI PIN.
Canara Bank

Canara Bank UPI — Canara ai1Pe

  • New UPI registration on any UPI-enabled app using Canara as remitter is currently limited to ₹5,000 for the first 24 hours on Android; iOS has ₹15,000 over the first 72 hours, limited to ₹5,000 in each 24-hour cycle.
  • Canara's general Mobile Banking fund-transfer cap of ₹15 lakh/day is not a UPI limit; v1.37 uses the bank's dedicated UPI debit table instead.
  • Canara's ₹2 lakh/₹3 lakh RuPay-credit-card-on-UPI merchant line is a card-funded P2M rule and must not be reused as the ordinary P2P account limit.
