The Times of India’s tech desk reports that the National Payments Corporation of India has launched UPI Lite, a new feature that lets users make low‑value transactions—such as buying tea, snacks, parking or photocopies—without repeatedly entering their UPI PIN. By linking an eligible bank account to a supported UPI app (e.g., Paytm, PhonePe or Google Pay) and maintaining a small balance in the UPI Lite wallet, everyday micro‑payments are processed instantly, speeding checkout and reducing clutter on bank statements. The service is intended only for modest sums, acting as a digital pocket wallet, and users are advised to keep the balance low for security.
