First-party checked6 bank sourcesReviewed September 10, 2026

How to compare

Check the terms that can change the decision.

Category membership alone does not make products interchangeable. Recheck the bank's current controlling agreement, tariff or effective-rate table before acting.

01

Bank limit vs system ceiling

A NPCI/RBI ceiling defines what the rail can support for a use case; the remitter bank, app, card issuer or customer risk limit can still be lower.

02

Cooling state first

New registration, device/SIM/mobile change or PIN reset can temporarily reduce value or transaction count. Compare that state separately from the steady-state limit.

03

UPI Lite is stored value

Lite uses a separately funded small-value balance and different authentication. Current RBI/NPCI framework allows ₹1,000 per eligible transaction and ₹5,000 stored balance, but a bank/app can still implement stricter controls.

04

Credit card UPI is not P2P

Linked RuPay credit cards are principally for eligible merchant UPI. NPCI excludes P2P/P2PM/card-to-card/cash-withdrawal flows and the usable amount can be lower than an ordinary bank-account UPI ceiling.

05

Mandate is a different authorization

UPI AutoPay is a recurring e-mandate with pause/revoke/modify and pre-debit controls; do not infer its rules from a one-off send-money limit.

06

Incoming and outgoing can differ

Banks can publish separate P2P inward transaction-count/value controls. A higher receive ceiling does not raise the amount you can send.

07

Keep conflicts visible

If a bank page carries a stale UPI Lite number or two current pages use different transaction-count scope, preserve the disagreement and prefer the controlling current system/bank source instead of silently harmonizing it.

UPI implementation matrix

The same UPI rail can behave differently by bank, device and funding source.

Compare steady-state limits beside temporary cooling and Lite/card-funded rules. A system ceiling is not shown as a guaranteed bank allowance.

Research matrix: Bank UPI service; Ordinary UPI / cooling; Lite / card / delegated UPI
Bank UPI serviceOrdinary UPI / coolingLite / card / delegated UPI
AU Small Finance Bank UPI — AU 0101After cooling, up to ₹1 lakh in a single outgoing UPI transaction and ₹1 lakh/day, with maximum 20 P2P transactions in 24 hours under the current AU UPI page. AU separately publishes incoming P2P limits up to ₹4 lakh/24 hours subject to count/value rules. Android: first 24 hours after UPI registration limited to ₹5,000 or 20 transactions, whichever first. iOS: first 72 hours limited to ₹5,000 or 20 transactions per 24 hours, whichever first.AU lists UPI Lite as a current feature. The engine uses current RBI/NPCI system limits of ₹1,000 per eligible transaction and ₹5,000 maximum stored balance unless AU publishes a stricter live app limit. Eligible RuPay-credit-card UPI is kept separate from AU account-funded UPI and follows NPCI merchant-only/issuer-risk/card/customer limit controls rather than automatically inheriting the AU deposit-account daily cap. AU explicitly lists UPI Circle as a current AU 0101 feature. The engine applies the current NPCI full-delegation guardrails of up to ₹15,000 per month and ₹5,000 per transaction, while partial delegation requires primary-user authorization; any stricter AU/live-app setting remains controlling.
Axis Bank UPI — open & Supported UPI AppsCurrent Axis UPI terms: up to ₹1,00,000 per transaction when funding from an Axis Bank account. Other-bank accounts may use different issuing-bank limits; the engine does not turn this per-transaction statement into an unsupported universal Axis daily ceiling. Migration-specific evidence: newly re-registered migrated Citi accounts were limited to ₹5,000 in the first 24 hours on Android and ₹25,000 over the first 120 hours on iOS (₹5,000 per 24 hours). Because that source is migration-specific, generic Axis registrations follow live app/bank controls unless separately documented.Axis terms explicitly recognize UPI Lite without UPI PIN but contain legacy ₹500 wording plus 'or as prescribed by NPCI'. Current RBI/NPCI controls are used: ₹1,000 per Lite transaction and ₹5,000 maximum stored balance, subject to any lower live app restriction. Axis's current credit-card MITC requires the registered card mobile number and a separate 6-digit UPI PIN; only eligible RuPay P2M flows are allowed. P2P, P2PM, cash withdrawal, digital-account-opening, lending, eRUPI, IPO, foreign inward remittance and mutual-fund categories are excluded, and existing UPI plus card limits both apply. Axis's first-party annual reporting says UPI Circle was launched. The engine applies the current NPCI model: full delegation can be set up to ₹15,000 per month with up to ₹5,000 per transaction, while partial delegation requires the primary user to authorize the initiated payment with UPI PIN; live participating-app support still governs availability.
Bank of Baroda UPI — bob e-PayP2P/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. 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.bob 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. bob 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. bob e-Pay explicitly supports UPI Circle Full and Partial Delegation. Full Delegation: maximum ₹15,000/month and ₹5,000/transaction, with a 30-minute post-link cooling period and term from 1 month to 5 years. Partial Delegation requires the primary user's UPI PIN authorization for the initiated payment; primary can modify/revoke access and view transactions.
Canara Bank UPI — Canara ai1PeP2P: ₹1 lakh per transaction and ₹1 lakh/day, max 20/24h. Verified/special merchant P2M: ₹2 lakh per transaction/day. IPO/Retail Direct: ₹5 lakh per transaction and ₹10 lakh/day. Hospitals/education and tax: ₹5 lakh per transaction/day. QR from gallery: ₹2,000 per transaction / ₹10,000 daily, max 5/day. 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.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. 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. Canara ai1Pe explicitly supports UPI Circle with Full and Partial Delegation. Current NPCI full-delegation guardrails are applied at system level—up to ₹15,000/month and ₹5,000/transaction—while partial delegation requires the primary user to authorize the payment; any stricter live Canara/app setting controls.
Federal Bank UPI — FedMobile & Supported UPI AppsNo 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. No 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.Federal 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. Federal 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. Federal 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.
HDFC Bank UPI — HDFC Bank AppApp FAQ: up to 10 Send Money P2P transactions and ₹1 lakh per linked bank account within 24 hours. General limit page: P2P/P2M ₹1 lakh or 20 transactions in 24 hours; capital-market/defined collect categories ₹2 lakh; IPO ₹5 lakh. Scope conflict is preserved. New UPI user or changed device/SIM/mobile number: ₹5,000 for first 24 hours on Android and first 72 hours on iOS under the current HDFC Bank App FAQ.Current RBI/NPCI framework is ₹1,000 per transaction and ₹5,000 maximum stored balance. A current-dated HDFC PayZapp article still carries older ₹500/₹2,000 copy, which is flagged as stale/conflicting rather than used as the current limit. HDFC allows eligible RuPay credit cards to be linked on UPI for merchant/e-commerce payment flows. HDFC currently states up to ₹1 lakh/day (₹2 lakh for certain special MCCs) subject to available card limit, with ₹5,000/day for the first 24 hours after linking; NPCI’s issuer/risk/customer-limit rule remains controlling if lower.
ICICI Bank UPI — iMobileICICI’s NRI UPI page currently states ₹1 lakh/day for its international-mobile UPI flow. The engine does not convert that NRI statement into a universal resident iMobile cap where the reviewed resident FAQ does not give an equally scoped single figure. Current NRI/international-mobile ICICI UPI guidance states ₹5,000 for the first 24 hours on Android and 72 hours on iOS after creation of a new UPI ID/VPA; this is stored as NRI-flow evidence, not generalized beyond its source scope.ICICI current FAQ: ₹1,000 per transaction, ₹10,000 cumulative usage per day and ₹5,000 maximum Lite balance. No additional KYC; Auto Top-Up is available; Lite excludes UPI International, AutoPay and Collect. Eligible RuPay credit-card UPI should be evaluated as a separate card-funded merchant-payment state. NPCI prohibits P2P/P2PM/card-to-card/cash-withdrawal flows for linked RuPay credit cards and applies the lowest issuer-risk/card/customer limit.
IDFC FIRST Bank UPI — Mobile Banking & UPICurrent bank UPI page: ₹1 lakh/day fungible for P2P and non-verified-merchant payments, ₹2 lakh/day for verified merchants, and up to ₹1 lakh per P2P transaction from IDFC FIRST savings accounts. No current first-party bank-account UPI post-registration cooling figure is hard-coded from this evidence set. The profile leaves that state to the live app/bank control instead of borrowing the credit-card linking rule.IDFC FIRST's current first-party Lite guidance states ₹1,000 per UPI Lite transaction and ₹5,000 aggregate wallet balance, with single activation through mobile banking and no UPI PIN for eligible Lite payments. FIRST Digital RuPay credit-card UPI uses the same registered mobile number, card details/OTP and UPI PIN. For the first 24 hours after UPI PIN generation, card-funded UPI is limited to ₹5,000; afterward the bank states ₹1 lakh/day under the current card guidance, subject to issuer/card/app controls and eligible merchants. No IDFC FIRST UPI Circle implementation is asserted from the reviewed current first-party source set. NPCI's delegated-payment framework is not treated as proof of bank/app participation.
IndusInd Bank UPI — INDIEUp to ₹1 lakh cumulatively via up to 10 transactions to non-merchant accounts daily; up to ₹2 lakh cumulatively to specific merchants daily under the current INDIE FAQ. First 24 hours after UPI registration: up to ₹5,000 cumulatively via up to five transactions across both non-merchant and merchant payments.Current system-level UPI Lite limits are tracked separately at ₹1,000 per eligible payment and ₹5,000 maximum stored balance. A bank-specific INDIE Lite implementation is not asserted here unless the current bank channel explicitly documents it. RuPay credit-card-on-UPI is a separate eligible card-funded merchant flow under NPCI/issuer controls; this INDIE account-UPI profile does not infer that every linked bank/card is eligible.
Kotak Mahindra Bank UPI — Mobile Banking & BHIM UPI₹1 lakh maximum daily UPI transfer is consistently stated, but current bank pages differ on transaction count: Scan & Pay says 10 transactions/day while the BHIM UPI FAQ says up to 20/day. Gallery-uploaded QR is limited to ₹2,000 per transaction on the reviewed Scan & Pay page. Current Kotak help: transactions are restricted to ₹5,000 during the first 24 hours after UPI registration.Kotak's April 2026 first-party educational guidance reflects the current system framework—₹1,000 per Lite transaction and ₹5,000 wallet balance with Auto Top-Up. Because that is educational rather than a channel entitlement page, the profile does not claim every Kotak UPI app/version exposes Lite. Kotak RuPay credit-card UPI permits merchant P2M, not person transfers/receipts. Current bank FAQ states ₹1 lakh/day per card, ₹2 lakh/day for specified special cases, subject to available credit; first 24 hours after linking are capped at ₹5,000. P2P/P2PM, cash withdrawal, digital account opening, lending, eRUPI, IPO, foreign inward remittance and mutual funds are restricted. No current Kotak first-party source in this review set is used to assert UPI Circle/full-delegation availability. The field remains evidence-gated rather than assuming support from NPCI platform availability.
Punjab National Bank UPI — PNB ONE & BHIM PNBNo fresh universal PNB account-funded UPI daily ceiling is hard-coded from the 2026 public PNB ONE/UPI pages. The engine retains the older ₹50,000/day figure only as legacy evidence and requires the live PNB ONE/BHIM PNB control for current high-value usage. No current PNB-specific first-registration/device-change UPI cooling amount is asserted from the reviewed 2026 source set. Live app/risk controls remain controlling.PNB's January 2026 results material states PNB ONE 2.0 supports UPI Lite. Current numeric system limits are kept at the RBI/NPCI framework (₹1,000 per transaction, ₹5,000 stored balance) rather than the bank's much older launch-era Lite material. PNB's current credit-card portal supports linking eligible PNB RuPay credit cards to listed UPI apps and paying merchant QR/online UPI flows using UPI PIN. The card-funded path is treated as P2M, not as a P2P/receive-funds account substitute. No current PNB first-party source in this review set is used to assert UPI Circle support. Delegated payments remain evidence-gated instead of being inferred from NPCI availability.
SBI UPI — YONO SBI & BHIM SBI PayAfter cooling, current SBI material states ₹1 lakh per transaction and ₹1 lakh per day for ordinary P2P/P2M, with a maximum 20 P2P transactions per 24 hours per account; P2M transaction count is governed by the value cap rather than the same 20-count rule. After setting/resetting UPI PIN: Android first 24 hours ₹5,000 maximum transaction/cumulative day; iOS ₹5,000 per day for the first five days. SBI says these controls can change under NPCI/bank discretion.Current SBI page: up to ₹1,000 per UPI Lite payment without UPI PIN and ₹5,000 maximum Lite balance, consistent with the current RBI/NPCI framework. Keep RuPay credit-card-on-UPI separate from SBI deposit-account UPI. NPCI restricts linked RuPay credit-card UPI primarily to eligible merchant flows and sets the usable amount to the lowest applicable issuer risk/card/customer limit rather than a guaranteed bank-account UPI ceiling.
Union Bank UPI — Union easeCurrent Union Bank FAQ: maximum ₹1 lakh per UPI transaction and a bank-set limit of 20 daily transactions under P2P and P2M. The bank states the daily transaction setting cannot be user-increased. Newly registered UPI users can transfer a maximum of ₹5,000 during the first 24 hours under the current Union Bank FAQ.Union Bank states UPI Lite can presently be enabled in BHIM or other third-party apps. This profile therefore does not claim a Union-ease-hosted Lite balance or bank-specific Lite numeric limits. Union ease can link eligible RuPay credit cards issued by Union Bank or another issuer that is live for credit-card-on-UPI. Visa/Mastercard credit cards are not supported for this feature. Card-funded UPI uses a separate UPI PIN and is treated as UPI merchant-payment activity. No current Union Bank first-party statement in this reviewed page is used to assert UPI Circle/delegated-payment support; it remains evidence-gated.
YES BANK UPI — YES Pay NextCurrent YES Pay Next FAQ states a maximum 20 UPI transactions aggregating to ₹1 lakh in a day for its ordinary UPI flow. New registration or device switch: current YES Pay Next FAQ states a maximum ₹5,000 during the first 24 hours. iOS has additional early-use restrictions in YES BANK material, so the live app/current FAQ controls the exact post-24-hour progression.UPI Lite is supported in YES BANK’s current payment stack; current RBI/NPCI limits are ₹1,000 per eligible payment and ₹5,000 maximum stored balance. Bank/app implementation controls such as auto top-up are kept separate. Eligible RuPay credit-card-on-UPI is merchant-oriented and subject to card/issuer/customer limits under NPCI rules; this profile does not treat the bank account’s ₹1 lakh/day statement as a guaranteed card-funded allowance.
