With #UPI not working on both @GooglePayIndia and @Paytm, Bangalore has come to stand still. It gets funnier when POS machine is also from PayTm. Has it rained in the cloud?

Let us tell you that is the second time in 2022 that the UPI server has remined down for a long time. Earlier, the server wasn’t working on January 9, 2022.

The National Payments Corporation of India(NPCI) is yet to issue a formal statement regarding the disruption.

Notably, the UPI is a payment system introduced by the NPCI. This system is currently being used for over 60 per cent of India’s retail transactions.
