Financial Year Performance
For FY 2025-26 so far, UPI has processed 12.41 billion transactions with an average daily volume of 689.60 million and daily value of Rs 91,324.77 crore. This marks a substantial increase from the previous year’s average daily volume of 516.07 million and value of Rs 71,839.58 crore.
