The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is stepping up its supervision of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) to prevent future disruptions caused by stress on the core network.

In a circular issued on Wednesday, the payments authority outlined operational guidelines for 10 application programming interfaces (APIs) linked to UPI. It has asked payment service providers and acquiring banks to monitor and moderate their use of these APIs.
