NPCI lifts WhatsApp Pay’s user cap: Know how to set up new account

The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has announced a significant development for WhatsApp Pay by allowing the platform to extend its Unified Payments Interface (UPI) services to its entire user base in India. The decision, effective immediately, removes the previous cap of 100 million users that put a limit on the inclusion of new customers. With over 500 million users in India, WhatsApp Pay can now fully leverage its vast user base to enhance its presence in the competitive digital payments landscape.
