The Unified Payments Interface (UPI), a widely-used online payment platform, experienced technical troubles on Thursday evening, causing inconvenience for users. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) responded to numerous complaints by confirming that issues were tied to a handful of banks' internal problems.

Late Thursday, NPCI acknowledged intermittent connectivity issues, reassuring the public that its systems were not to blame. Efforts are reportedly underway to collaborate with banks for a swift resolution, as many individuals voiced their frustration over social media platforms.
