UPI QR Codes Double to 67.8 Crore, Driving Massive Growth in Digital Payments

Imagine everyone in India has a special phone code called a QR code.

These codes are used to pay for things using a system called UPI.

In just 18 months, the number of these codes has grown so much that it’s now more than double what it was before!

People are using these codes to buy everything from snacks at the corner store to paying for their food deliveries.

Because so many small purchases are being made, the average amount of money spent each time has gone down a bit.

But this means even more people and small shops are using this easy way to pay.

This huge number of QR codes means India is using digital money more than ever before, making everyday shopping very different from how it used to be.
