UPI has raised the maximum limit of certain categories of transactions and added to its high-value transactions two-factor authentication from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Additionally, there are new safety characteristics required, such as automatic fraud alerts.

The government has updated the subsidy norms for LPG users. Now the DBT scheme will now only give housing loans of only one cylinder per household at subsidized rates per month, and also the Aadhaar linking of the loan shall be tightened to ensure that it is not misused. Marginal revision for non-subsidized cylinder price also.

The banking guidelines are now much tougher on video ID when opening an account as well as reviewing high-value accounts on a periodic basis to keep updates. In addition, banks need to offer digital statements, which are free of cost, and establish fresh policies for resolving complaints related to UPI faster.

These are expected to help strengthen digital security and reduce government subsidies. Customers are informed that they need to upgrade apps and also finish pending KYC to prevent any kind of disruption in their services.
