Thousands of UPI users across India faced disruptions in digital transactions on Wednesday evening, with many reporting failed or delayed payments on platforms like Google Pay and Paytm.
According to Downdetector, a website that tracks online service outages, over 3,000 complaints were registered since 6 PM, indicating a widespread technical issue affecting multiple banks and payment gateways.
Users took to social media to express frustration over incomplete transactions, stuck payments, and instances where money was debited from their accounts without confirmation on the recipient’s end.
"I tried making a payment at a grocery store using UPI, but it kept failing. Even switching between Google Pay and Paytm didn't help," posted a user on X (formerly Twitter), echoing the concerns of many others.
Many customers have tagged their banks and digital payment platforms, seeking an immediate resolution to the issue. So far, no official statement has been released by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) or major payment service providers.
