UPI, the preferred mode of payment by many Indians across different walks of life is also claimed<\/a> to be the driving force of rising expenditures due to its seamless and smooth behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"UPI<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New Age Double-Edged Sword: UPI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience is same for many Indians since they claim that the nature of seamless cashless transactions, de facto, leads to more expense than needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a survey conducted by IIIT Delhi, a person said that \u201cI love UPI! It\u2019s a fantastic way to spend money without dealing with change or carrying cash. You can make payments from just one rupee to Rs. 1 lakh in one go. It\u2019s one of the best things in this progressive era,\u201d a person said in a survey conducted by IIIT Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPI, leading the pack and followed by other digital payment platforms have made transactions more convenient than ever before. There is a virtue of its own, but the vice being that the same leads to many people overspending and hence finding their pockets \u201cempty\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per a recent study by Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT Delhi), as many as 74% of people in India have reported that they have been overspending as a result of using UPI and other digital payment methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per the survey results, 91.5% respondents were satisfied with their overall UPI experience whereas 95.2% found the UPI to be \u2018convenient\u2019 for making payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Striking a Balance: Convenience Versus Overspending<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplifying payments by eliminating the need for physical currency, the UPI is even used for smallest of payments ranging from Rs 5 to Rs 10 digitally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As many as 81% of people use UPI daily, out of which on an average 15.7% mentioned their daily average spending is around Rs 200. Regarding daily spending using UPI, respondents reported a wide range, with amounts varying from Rs 50 to 1 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike credit and debit cards, there is no processing or transaction fees for person-to-person P2P transactions. The UPI is omnipresent and commonplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way forward would be finding a balance between convenience and financial responsibility is crucial in this cashless era.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
