Wrong UPI Transaction:Even though the digital payment system is getting stronger in the country, people are also at risk of being duped of their money digitally or paying to the wrong person unknowingly. There are a large number of cases where people have paid to the wrong person by entering wrong UPI ID and treating it as a loss as a result of their mistake. However, in case of transfer to wrong account, remedial steps are available to reverse the transaction.

As per RBI guidelines, in case of inadvertent transaction through digital services, the aggrieved person should lodge a complaint with the payment system used earlier. For example, if the aggrieved person has wrongly transferred money through UPI platforms like Google Pay, PhonePe or Paytm, he/she can file a complaint on the NPCI portal.
