Significant changes are coming to the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system, impacting millions of users. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has announced the discontinuation of the P2P ‘Collect Request’ feature, also known as ‘Pull Transaction,’ starting October 1, 2025. This means users will no longer be able to send ‘Collect Requests’ to request money on apps like PhonePe, Gpay, or PayTM. The measure aims to curb online fraud and bolster user security.
