Right direction towards digital money. One must be careful. Demarcate only one account where you do online transaction. Limit your liabilities

Allowing UPI technology in the name of improving electronic payment to anyone & then restricting transaction counts..slowly there will be a charge implemented too.

RIP Paytm, gPay and all.

But sadly whatsapp pay can never have >30% market share because of an absolutely strange rule of 30% cap
