Per-Transaction Limit on Google Pay Example
If you’re a new Google Pay user and need to transfer ₹6,000 in a single transaction, you may encounter a cap, as your initial per-transaction limit is ₹5,000 for the first 24 hours. After 24 hours, the full per-transaction limit of ₹1 lakh will apply. Additionally, if you try to make a request transaction via VPA for an amount over ₹2,000, Google Pay will restrict it to prevent potential fraud.
