This stupid Google gave me anxiety. I made a UPI payment of Rs 400 at a store which could not be processed and now I cannot cancel it. It says it might be processed after 2 days.

What the hell? I couldn't leave without paying so I paid with cash and now my 400 might also get deducted. I am uninstalling this app.

What else can you expect from such big companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple

My payment is showing failed now 😊. It seems like my shopkeeper's UPI id was inactive so I got saved.

These things happen with Paytm / PhonePe as well. While Paytm UPI coupled with Paytm Bank account could be the best in terms of success rates, failures can occur due to the receiver's bank. Happened to me at multiple shops on the same day - thankfully shopkeepers trusted me and let me go. I left my phone number with them for assurance. The payment took 48 hours to complete successfully.

No. On PayTM the transaction gets cancelled. PayTM's customer support is non-existent too but at least your transactions aren't kept in pending

True, gpay has serious issues. Have faced problems on Amazon orders with payment on delivery too. Other apps work fine. Now-a-days always avoid gpay.

I deleted Gpay. They need to introduce custom UPI ids. All my banks have random -1 or -3 or whatever after each UPI id. And there is no way to recover earlier UPI ids.

Use always Paytm UPI + link with Paytm bank.

Anyways UPI fund transfer timed out or pending? NPCI developing real-time fix - https://www.desidime.com/discussions/upi-fund-t...

Banks that currently take more than 24 hours to unblock funds stuck due to failed UPI transactions will be able to do so in less than 30 seconds.

"The NPCI is working on a system that will allow banks to know if the money debited has been credited to the receiver or not; all this can be done in less than 30 seconds and the money can be reversed,"

Google Pay is one of the worst apps for UPI payments, the only reason people use it , is because its from Google.

Paytm has never failed for me, phonepe is pretty good as well.

Paytm UPI, though it too has some minor failures, stands 1st in terms of success rates.

In 2019 once used BHIM UPI app by NPCI to transfer 4k, after entering pin it showed error that something went wrong please try again later, so i kept on trying again by entering upi pin. After a while i received 4k amount debit messages for 5 times. So i transferred 20k instead of 4k. Since I knew the shop owner i asked him to transfer back remaining amount.

From then onwards, i made habit to always take few minutes before entering UPI pin again.

Extension of what @Neo_T has mentioned above -
It's either PP or Paytm.
Just coz GPay is the all time favorite option for everyone they have immense traffic on their network due to which these issues occur....Success rate on PP and Paytm are very high....I've seen people struggling to pay via Gpay app but the payment was processed flawlessly when they switched onto Paytm or PP smile

Have faced the same although shop was near hence was able to collect back my money.

But my friend went into the same situation when he was outstation he lost around 1k as after 2 days payment got successful.

Now whenever someone ask me "do you have gpay" I reply "What's that"

I reinstalled Gpay app. Was registered with only one bank but received messages from 2 additional banks/cards that account has been linked. In banks setting only one bank account (previous one) is showing. 

How to delete the other two?
