The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has said that from February 1 users can’t use special characters in Unified Payments Interface (UPI) identity.
All such information has to be alphanumeric.
As per a circular issued by NPCI on January 9, 2025, any transaction with an ID containing special character will be declined by the central system. This decision is taken to standardise the UPI ID generation process.
“We have been working with the ecosystem to improve compliance, though the issue has been largely resolved, it is observed that a few of the participants continue to be non-compliant,” the circular added.
