More than 1,800 crore transactions every month

According to NPCI, more than 1,800 crore transactions take place every month through UPI. In June 2025, UPI had a turnover of Rs 24.03 lakh crore with 1,839 crore transactions, which shows a growth of 32% compared to 1,388 crore transactions in June 2024 last year.

PIB said, "UPI has taken India away from cash and card-based payments and moved towards a digital-dominated economy." It has become a strong means of financial inclusion not only for big businesses but also for small shopkeepers and common people.

Outside the borders of India, UPI is now handling about 50% of real-time digital payments globally. Through this, 85% of digital payments are being made in India today, with 49.1 crore users, 6.5 crore businessmen, and 675 banks connected on the same platform. On this, PIB said, 'This is not just a matter of figures, but it reflects the growing trust in India's digital framework and the rapid steps towards a cashless economy.
