What Can Customers Try In Future?
To mitigate the impact of such disruptions, SBI customers can explore UPI Lite, an offline method for UPI transactions. Under UPI Lite, users can transact up to Rs 4,000 daily, with instant transactions capped at Rs 500, without inputting a PIN. Although linked to users’ bank accounts, UPI Lite accounts operate independently of the real-time core banking system, so payment failures stemming from processing glitches are minimal. In addition, users can use UPI wallets to store and use funds for urgent transactions.
