National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) which facilitates UPI has said that the platform will be under maintenance over the next few days so it could affect transactions.

The UPI up-gradation process will take place between 1AM to 3AM over the next few days, NPCI wrote on its Twitter account. The national agency missed out to mention the dates when this will take place.

To create a better architecture for the growth of UPI transactions, the UPI platform will be under an upgradation process for next few days from 1AM – 3AM.
