The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) services were affected on Tuesday after some banks faced "internal technical issues", the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) said.
"Regret inconvenience on UPI connectivity as few of the banks are having some internal technical issues. NPCI systems are working fine and we are working with these banks to ensure quick resolution," the NPCI said in a post on X.
According to some media reports, the UPI users of the State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, and a few other banks reported server issues.
Social media users took to their accounts and said they were facing issues while trying to make UPI payments through apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, etc.
The outage was reported between 6 pm and 9 pm.
