The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has rolled out new UPI guidelines effective April 1, 2025, requiring payment service providers to conduct weekly database updates using the Mobile Number Revocation List. The regulations mandate explicit user consent for UPI number seeding and introduce stricter authentication protocols. Users must actively update their mobile numbers and provide consent to avoid account deactivation. The measures aim to prevent transaction errors from recycled mobile numbers and enhance payment security across platforms like Google Pay and Paytm.
