New Delhi: Following a brief outage on January 9, the services of the Unified Payment Interface (UPI), the quick payment interface designed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), were restored.
The services were down owing to an “intermittent technical malfunction,” according to an update published on social media by NPCI.
Taking to Twitter, NPCL said, “Regret the inconvenience to #UPI users due to intermittent technical glitch. #UPI is operational now, and we are monitoring the system closely.”
