According to a report, the rule is said to be implemented across various digital payment methods such as Immediate Payment Service (IMPS), Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), and Unified Payments Interface (UPI). Existing users are allowed to send a maximum of Rs 5,000 in the first 24 hours when they set up a new UPI account.

Similarly, Rs 50,000 can be transferred within 24 hours with National Electronic Funds Transfer. However, according to this new scheme, it is said that a time limit of four hours will be enforced every time anyone offers to make a payment to a new person.
