PhonePe UPI Circle Feature: The era of digital payments is growing rapidly in India. Nowadays, you will get the option of online payment from village to city.
PhonePe has launched a new feature ‘UPI Circle’, which gives you the option to make payments to your family or friends from your UPI account. Even if they do not have their own bank account. You can avail this feature easily on the PhonePe app.
The feature has two delegations
This feature allows you to make payments from your UPI account to any other person i.e. secondary user. Secondary users can make payments up to a limited amount from your account. There are two delegations in this feature. With the help of the first delegation, the secondary user is allowed to make payments up to Rs 15,000 per month and up to Rs 5,000 per transaction.
In this, the permission of the primary user is not required and there is also a second delegation in which your permission i.e. the primary user’s permission is required for every payment. To give you an example, if your brother adds a sister to his UPI ID under the UPI Circle feature, then the brother has the right to give either partial or full payment to the sister.
