WhatsApp Pay Gets Approval For UPI In Graded Manner
Facebook's WhatsApp Pay on November 5 received approval from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to go live on the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) system. However, NPCI has allowed Facebook to execute it only in a graded manner by adding a maximum of 20 million users in the first phase. WhatsApp Pay was already launched in India as a Beta version in 2018 with around one million users.
