Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to enter my UPI PIN to receive money?
No — you only ever enter your UPI PIN to send or approve a payment. If a screen asks for your PIN while you're supposedly 'receiving' money, it is a scam.
Is scanning a QR code enough to lose money?
Scanning alone doesn't debit money, but it can open a payment approval screen. Always check the payee name and amount carefully before entering your PIN.
