UPI under NPCI
The RBI said that it is entirely within the jurisdiction of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to approve any body regarding the operation of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). It is NPCI which makes rules, guidelines and procedures related to monitoring of UPI payments.
