Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UTR number and why is it important?

UTR (Unique Transaction Reference) is the unique ID for every UPI transaction. It is essential for raising disputes. Always save your UTR before filing any complaint.

My UPI money was deducted but not received — what to do?

First, wait 5 business days as per NPCI rules for auto-reversal. If not reversed, file a dispute through your UPI app or bank. Also escalate to NPCI if the bank does not resolve.

I was scammed on UPI — can I get money back?

Immediately report on cybercrime.gov.in and call 1930 (National Cybercrime Helpline). Also inform your bank to freeze the recipient account. Early action improves recovery chances significantly. No guarantee of recovery.

What is the time limit to raise a UPI dispute?

For failed transactions, raise within T+5 days for auto-reversal. For fraud, report within 24-48 hours. Bank chargeback timelines vary. VERIFY_OFFICIAL_SOURCE for exact timelines.

Can I dispute a UPI transaction sent to the wrong number?

If sent to wrong UPI ID: contact your bank immediately. Recovery is not guaranteed as the transaction is usually valid. File a complaint with both banks. If the receiver is uncooperative, police complaint may be needed.
