However, every UPI transaction requires one important security feature before the payment is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That security feature is the UPI PIN. It authorises every debit transaction from your linked bank account and helps protect your money from unauthorised access. In this guide, you will learn what a UPI PIN is, how it works, how to create, change, or reset it, and how it differs from an MPIN and an ATM PIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_UPI\"><\/span>What is UPI?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>UPI (Unified Payments Interface)<\/strong> is a real-time payment system developed by NPCI that lets you transfer money directly between bank accounts. It works 24\/7 and allows you to make payments using a mobile app without entering bank account details every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Let&#8217;s you send and receive money instantly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supports payments through UPI ID, QR code, or mobile number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Works across different banks and UPI apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Available round the clock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_UPI_PIN\"><\/span>What is a UPI PIN?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A UPI PIN is a 4 or 6 digit secret code that authorises every UPI payment made from your bank account. Think of it as your approval before money leaves your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Required to complete debit transactions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Created when you link your bank account to a UPI app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Different from your ATM PIN and MPIN.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Should never be shared with anyone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_a_UPI_PIN_Work\"><\/span>How Does a UPI PIN Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every time you make a UPI payment, your PIN confirms that you are the one authorising the transaction.
