How To Set UPI PIN Without Debit Card: Step-By-Step Guide
Very few people know that the NPCI offers two options for setting a UPI PIN; one through the traditional debit card method and the other using an Aadhaar card
There is no doubt that the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has transformed the world of daily transactions. Where once everyone used to carry cash, now a mobile phone is all you need. From buying groceries to sending money to someone, UPI allows you to complete transactions in seconds. All you need is a registered mobile number or UPI ID.
However, for every UPI transaction, one must enter a four or six-digit UPI PIN, which verifies that the payment is being made by the rightful user. Traditionally, a debit card has been used to set this PIN, but now there is another option — an Aadhaar card.
