A major technical glitch disrupted Unified Payments Interface (UPI) services across India on Saturday morning, marking the third significant outage in the past 30 days.
Users across leading digital payment apps, including Google Pay, PhonePe and Paytm, were unable to complete transactions, causing widespread inconvenience to both individuals and businesses.
According to DownDetector, a website that monitors outages, 2,147 complaints were reported by 12.56 pm, with nearly 80% of users experiencing issues during payment attempts. Earlier in the day, 1,168 complaints had already been logged, highlighting the growing frustration among users.
On March 26, digital transactions were hit due to a widespread UPI outage, with a large number of users reporting problems in the instant payment interface.
“NPCI had faced intermittent technical issues owing to which UPI had partial decline. The same has been addressed now and the system has stabilised. Regret the inconvenience,” the payment regulator said in a post on X.
