What does this mean for you?
Previously, the UPI transaction limit for educational and healthcare payments was capped at Rs. 2 lakhs. This often led to inconvenience, especially for larger payments like semester fees or medical bills. Now, with the revised limit of Rs. 5 lakhs, you can pay your bills and fees instantly and seamlessly without worrying about exceeding the limit.
