For individuals who are prone to leaving their wallets at home, UPI payment methods such as Google Pay make life a little easier. It also benefits those who are cash-strapped or who have forgotten what it was like to do a transaction in cash.
What is Google Pay?
In today’s India, sending and receiving money through the internet has become a regular practice. Digital wallets have become more advanced in recent years, adding new capabilities and improving user interfaces.
Tez, a new digital wallet from Google, was introduced to handle all payments in India. It eventually renamed the Tez app to Google Pay in order to take advantage of India’s growing UPI payment sector.
Changing or Updating UPI PIN
It is easy for those who are easily distracted to lose track of both their password and their UPI PIN, both of which are required in order to complete a transaction on the UPI payment network. Having cash on hand might be really beneficial in these situations.
However, you can alter your UPI PIN if you have forgotten it or if you feel it is necessary to do so for your own personal safety.
Users who input the erroneous UPI PIN more than three times will be required to change their PIN or wait 24 hours before attempting another transaction, according to Google. During this period, users will be unable to send or receive money.
Users using Google Pay, on the other hand, can refresh their UPI PIN if they are certain that they have forgotten their PIN.
Changing your Google Pay UPI PIN from inside the app is straightforward, provided you still have your phone with the registered number on you at the time of the change.
