PhonePe enables UPI activation with Aadhaar based OTP

[Abhishek012]

Under the previous UPI onboarding flow, a valid debit card was mandatory to set up a user’s UPI PIN during the UPI registration process, restricting access for a large number of Indian bank account holders who didn’t have a debit card handy. This makes Aadhaar e-KYC flow a part of the UPI onboarding journey on the PhonePe App. Users choosing this option will need to enter the last 6 digits of their Aadhaar number to initiate the onboarding process. They will then receive an OTP from UIDAI, and their respective bank to complete the authentication process. Post this, customers will be able to access all UPI features such as payments and balance check on the PhonePe App.
