- The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is an instant real-time payment system, developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
- The UPI is India's mobile-based fast payment system built over the IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) infrastructure, which facilitates the customers to make round-the-clock payments instantly, using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) created by the customer.
- It eliminates the risk of sharing bank account details by the remitter, as the customers are not required to enter the details, such as the card number, account number, IFSC etc.
- The UPI supports both Person-to- Person (P2P)' and Person-to-Merchant (P2M)' payments, and it also enables a user to send or receive money.
- It enables the use of a single mobile application for accessing different bank accounts.
- The transactions are carried out through mobile devices with two factor authentication, using device binding and a UPI PIN as security.
- The registration of the beneficiary is not required for transferring funds through UPI, as the fund would be transferred based on Virtual ID/Account + IFSC/Aadhaar number.

Which of the following is not a feature of the Unified Payments Interf...
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) Features:
- Single Mobile Application: UPI enables the use of a single mobile application for accessing different bank accounts, making it convenient for users to manage their finances from one platform.
- Risk Elimination: UPI eliminates the risk of sharing bank account details by the remitter. Instead of sharing sensitive information, users can simply use a UPI ID or Virtual Payment Address (VPA) to initiate transactions.
- Mobile Transactions: Transactions through UPI are carried out through mobile devices with two-factor authentication, ensuring security and authenticity of the payments being made.
Explanation:
The statement that UPI created a new payment infrastructure to enable real-time payment settlement is not accurate. UPI is a system that facilitates instant fund transfers between bank accounts through mobile devices. It acts as a platform that allows different banks to be interconnected and enables seamless transactions. However, it does not create a new payment infrastructure for real-time settlement. Instead, UPI leverages existing banking systems and technologies to provide a more efficient and user-friendly payment experience.
