The UPI LITE feature is introduced for the first time in India by Paytm Payments Bank

Current context: Paytm Payments Bank Limited (PPBL) has launched UPI LITE, a feature designed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) that enables multiple small-value UPI transactions.

• This makes PPBL the first payments bank to deploy such a feature, as part of its efforts to promote innovation.
• UPI LITE allows transactions of up to Rs 200 without requiring a UPI PIN. The feature enables faster and safer real-time small value payments, making the entire experience quick and seamless.
• Once a UPI LITE wallet is loaded, a user can make instant transactions of up to Rs. 200. Currently, only debits from the customer's wallet are permitted, and all credits to UPI LITE, including refunds, go directly to their bank account.
• This feature enables faster real-time transactions with a single click through Paytm, and it clears the bank passbook of small transactions.
• By improving customer experience and increasing transaction success rates, PPBL aims to process a billion transactions per day on the UPI platform.
