Many people in India now use online payment, and they like to pay through UPI.
It’s a better option than carrying cash because you don’t have to worry about change.
Also, you don’t always have to carry a wallet or purse. For online payment, you just need to have a mobile phone. With it, you can scan the QR code and pay the amount you want.
Have you thought about what to do if you lose your mobile phone? How can you stop others from using your Google Pay, Phone Pay, Paytm, and UPI ID?
