Two months after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) floated a framework for facilitating small digital payments in offline mode, India's flagship payments processor has designed an on-device wallet for Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions up to Rs 200.

UPI Lite will initially launch as a pilot with multiple apps and banks.

A balance of up to Rs 2,000 can be maintained in the wallet which can be reloaded only in the online mode through a two-factor authentication process, the letter said.

 
Once loaded, a UPI LITE wallet allows a user to do instant transactions of up to ₹200, making the entire experience quick and seamless. A maximum of ₹2,000 can be added twice in a day to UPI LITE, making the cumulative daily usage up to ₹4,000.

Additionally, with UPI LITE, users can carry out a large number of small value UPI payments in a superfast manner without worrying about cap on the number of bank transactions. This makes way for a hassle-free payments experience.

 
The Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday announced an increase in the total wallet limit for UPI Lite from Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000. The offline transaction limit has risen from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000, effective immediately.
