Frequently Asked Questions

I submitted a transfer request, but the funds were not credited to my recipient. Why is this so?

Please note you will receive two notifications if your funds are successfully transferred to your recipient. The first notification indicates a successful submission of your request. An additional notification will be sent to you when the transfer has been successfully, or unsuccessfully made to the recipient. You can also refer to your bank account balance to check if the funds have been successfully debited.

What is a UPI ID Proxy look-up?

As part of the PayNow-UPI service, a sender may ‘look up’ a UPI ID Proxy to see the name which is associated with that UPI ID Proxy, before initiating a transfer. The purpose of this feature is to provide the sender with a degree of assurance that he will be transferring the funds to his intended recipient, and so help to prevent erroneous transfers.

Why can’t I find my recipient after entering a UPI ID?

Your recipient needs to have registered for UPI with one of the India banks participating in PayNow-UPI.

Beneficiary Account with	UPI ID Handle
Axis Bank	@axisbank
