Now, the UPI, along with other payments modes, including cash and cards, has seen a growth in volume in the first three weeks of June in India. This was inevitable and is not at all surprising since the economy is slowly opening up.

UPI Transactions Volume Up by 12.3% In June

During May, when the second wave of COVID-19 was at its peak, the UPI transactions, as well as other modes of payments, saw a sharp decline because people weren’t stepping out of their homes much. So it was obvious that the UPI transaction volume would go down.

However, in the first three weeks of June, things have picked up. Compared to the same period in May, UPI transactions volume surged by 12.3% in June in India. As per an ET Telecom report, the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) digital payments database suggests that debit and credit card payments also saw an increase in volume by 12.7% and 18.6%.
