Federal Bank UPI — FedMobile & Supported UPI Apps
Federal Bank UPI profile focused on current UPI Lite auto top-up, UPI Circle/delegated payments and supported-account access while deliberately avoiding an unsourced single Federal daily UPI ceiling.
First-party evidencePublished researchReviewed September 10, 2026Active
Eligible funding sourceRequires an eligible UPI-linked bank account for account-funded UPI. Federal Bank has also extended UPI access to eligible sole-proprietorship current accounts through supported third-party UPI apps.
UPI / security limitsThe engine does not publish a single Federal Bank ordinary UPI daily ceiling from the reviewed current material because it is not documented there with sufficient scope. Current NPCI use-case ceilings and any lower live bank/app risk limit therefore remain controlling.
Payment / channel costNo separate ordinary UPI subscription fee is modeled from the reviewed Federal evidence; account/card/app and other payment-service charges remain separate.
Payment / funding relationshipThe remitter account can be Federal Bank while the UPI app is a supported third-party PSP. UPI Circle delegation and Lite stored value are separate states; an eligible RuPay credit card is a separate card-funded merchant relationship.

Critical decision facts
Channel scope and security state determine what the published limit really means.
Rail, channel, beneficiary, cooling, authentication and recovery rules stay separate instead of being compressed into one generic digital-banking number.
Exact product-type evidence
UPI payment service evidence stays in its own structure.
Specialist fields below remain source-scoped. Missing values stay missing; one banking product type is never used to manufacture facts for another.
UPI control map
Separate the funding source, steady-state limit and temporary security state.
UPI is not represented by one universal ₹1 lakh number. Bank/app risk controls, device cooling, Lite, card-funded merchant UPI and mandate rules are kept in their own fields. Reviewed September 10, 2026.
UPI app / channelFederal Bank account UPI through FedMobile and supported third-party UPI apps; bank reporting also documents UPI Circle and UPI Lite Auto Top-up availability.
Registration / linkingRegistration follows the supported UPI app/remitter-bank account and registered-mobile verification flow. Exact PSP screens can differ, so one app’s UX is not universalized.
AuthenticationOrdinary UPI uses UPI PIN/security controls. Federal’s FY2024-25 reporting states UPI Lite supports transactions up to ₹1,000 without entering UPI PIN after enablement.
Steady-state limitsNo single Federal-specific ordinary daily UPI number is published here from the reviewed current evidence. Use the live remitter-bank/app risk control and the applicable NPCI use-case ceiling.
New-user / device coolingNo universal Federal post-registration/device-change UPI cooling amount is asserted from the reviewed source set; users should follow the live app/bank restriction shown during registration or re-registration.
UPI LiteFederal FY2024-25 reporting: UPI Lite small-value payments up to ₹1,000 without UPI PIN plus UPI Lite Auto Top-up; current RBI/NPCI maximum stored balance is ₹5,000.
RuPay credit card on UPIFederal offers RuPay credit-card products that can participate in UPI where eligible; NPCI rules keep linked-credit-card UPI merchant-oriented and limited by the lowest card/issuer-risk/customer-set limit.
AutoPay / mandatesUPI AutoPay follows the recurring e-mandate layer with pause/revoke/modify controls; no Federal-specific mandate ceiling is substituted for the NPCI/use-case rules without explicit bank evidence.
UPI Circle / delegated paymentsFederal Bank first-party reporting documents UPI Circle availability through supporting apps. Delegation remains distinct from account ownership; current NPCI full-delegation limits are up to ₹15,000 per month and ₹5,000 per transaction, while participating-app availability and any lower Federal/app controls remain controlling.
Merchant / QR controlsUPI works through supported apps for merchant/QR payments; Federal also reports broader UPI access for sole-proprietorship current accounts and delegated UPI Circle capability.
Failure / dispute / recoveryBecause app and remitter bank can be different participants, disputes/re-registration should be followed through the relevant UPI app and Federal Bank support path; no unsupported single recovery route is invented.
Maintained terms
Fees, balances, benefits, limits and eligibility without a single-score shortcut.
These six fields are the cross-product layer. The specialist section above controls whenever a type-specific field is more precise.
Payment / channel costNo separate ordinary UPI subscription fee is modeled from the reviewed Federal evidence; account/card/app and other payment-service charges remain separate.
Eligible funding sourceRequires an eligible UPI-linked bank account for account-funded UPI. Federal Bank has also extended UPI access to eligible sole-proprietorship current accounts through supported third-party UPI apps.
UPI capabilitiesFederal Bank reports UPI for eligible current-account use, UPI Circle availability through supporting apps and UPI Lite Auto Top-up. Its FY2024-25 report describes Lite payments up to ₹1,000 without UPI PIN.
UPI / security limitsThe engine does not publish a single Federal Bank ordinary UPI daily ceiling from the reviewed current material because it is not documented there with sufficient scope. Current NPCI use-case ceilings and any lower live bank/app risk limit therefore remain controlling.
Registration eligibilityEligible Federal Bank account holders using FedMobile or a supported UPI app, subject to the account constitution, registered mobile/device and app/bank eligibility.
Payment / funding relationshipThe remitter account can be Federal Bank while the UPI app is a supported third-party PSP. UPI Circle delegation and Lite stored value are separate states; an eligible RuPay credit card is a separate card-funded merchant relationship.
Fit & cautions
Who this record appears designed for—and what can break the fit.
Best-fit wording summarizes the published proposition. It is not individualized financial advice or an approval prediction.
Federal Bank customers who want current evidence for Lite/delegated UPI capabilities and prefer a profile that marks missing bank-specific limit evidence instead of filling it with a generic NPCI number.
- Older Federal UPI Lite announcements show historical lower numeric limits; the current RBI/NPCI framework and Federal FY2024-25 reporting support ₹1,000 small-value Lite payments, so stale launch-era limits are not reused.
- No clean current Federal-specific ordinary UPI daily ceiling is hard-coded in this wave; the live app/bank rule should be verified before a high-value transfer.
- UPI Circle lets a primary user delegate payment authority to a secondary user; it does not make the secondary user an owner of the primary bank account.
