What is UPI Circle? (What is UPI Circle)
UPI Circle is a feature in which users can make UPI payments even without a bank account. This feature will prove to be very beneficial for users who do not use online banking.
For payment through UPI Circle, the user will only need a mobile number and OTP. With this feature, family or friends will also get the facility of financial transactions.
How will UPI Circle work
UPI Circle has primary users and secondary users. The user who has a UPI ID will be called the primary user, while those who will be linked to the UPI circle are called secondary users. The secondary user can also easily avail the facility of UPI payment.
Understand it like this the primary user gives the power to use UPI to the secondary user. He can easily make payments from the primary user's account. The primary user permits whether the secondary user can make partial or full UPI payments or not.
For example, if a father adds his son to his UPI ID under the UPI Circle feature, then the father has the right to give his son either partial or full payment rights.
UPI Circle Benefits
This will prove to be very beneficial for those who want to monitor digital transactions. If parents want to monitor their children's UPI payment transactions, then this is possible through UPI Circle.
It will be very easy to manage the bank account of the child or parents through UPI Circle. There will be no conflict in managing the account like UPI transactions.
If someone is running a startup or a company, then through UPI Circle, 5-lob bill payments can be made from one account. Even the details of all payments will be in one place.
Disadvantages of UPI Circle
UPI Circle has as many disadvantages as it is beneficial. Actually, in this feature, the secondary user is completely dependent on the primary user for UPI payment. Apart from this, before making any transaction, the secondary user will have to get permission from the primary user.
