New Delhi. National Payment Corporation of India (NCPI) is soon going to launch auto top-up facility for UPI Lite customers. Through this, users will not need to deposit money in UPI Lite again and again from their bank account. The amount will be automatically deposited in the UPI wallet. The new facility will start from October 31. NPCI has recently issued a circular in this regard. According to this, customers will be able to use the auto top-up option to deposit the amount of their choice again in their UPI Lite account. Customers can also turn off this facility at any time.

No UPI PIN required
