To start with, the NPCI will enable transactions from mobile numbers having country codes of Singapore, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Oman, Qatar, USA, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom, along with the current domestic country code, as per an NPCI circular released on January 10, 2023.Īccording the NPCI circular, the NRE or NRO accountholders with international mobile numbers will be allowed register and transact on UPI platforms if these conditions are being met. NRIs with NRE or NRO accounts in these 10 countries don't need to have Indian mobile numbers to transact through UPI platforms. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has allowed UPI platforms to onboard non-resident accountholders (NRE/NRO accounts) from ten countries with international mobile numbers with certain conditions. Non-resident Indians (NRIs), holding bank accounts in India and living abroad, will soon be able to use UPI platforms using their international mobile numbers.
Meanwhile, taking into account the popularity of the UPI payment system, the Reserve Bank of India proposed to permit all inbound travellers to India to use UPI for their merchant payments while they are in the country.
