In addition to resolving complaints online for person-to-person (P2P) transactions, the UPI- Help can in case of pending transactions where user doesn’t take any action, it shall also proactively attempt to auto update the final status of the transactions on the app.
For the initial stage, NPCI has gone live on the BHIM app for the customers of State Bank of India, AXIS Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. Customers of Paytm Payments Bank and TJSB Sahakari Bank shall also be able to avail the advantage of UPI-Help soon.
