Technical flaws are constantly coming to the fore
This is not the first time that the UPI service has been disrupted. On March 26, 2025, a major glitch was also reported on the UPI platform. When crores of users across the country could not do any digital transaction for about 2 to 3 hours. At that time NPCI blamed technical reasons and later the service was restored.
Big impact on small traders
Not only the common consumers have been affected by the technical glitch. But small shopkeepers, street vendors and traders present in the malls also appeared troubled. At many places, there was an argument between customers and shopkeepers because the payment for the purchased items could not be made due to the transaction not being completed.

Questions on the pace of Digital India
Under the "Digital India" mission promoted by the government, UPI is considered the backbone of cashless transactions in the country. But the technical glitches that have been constantly coming up in the past days are affecting this trust. Experts believe that due to increasing traffic and number of transactions, there is more pressure on the UPI server, due to which the system is repeatedly going down.
