HDFC Bank, a leading private bank in the country, has announced changes to its rules related to UPI transactions starting from Tuesday. Beginning June 25th, HDFC Bank customers will no longer receive notification alerts for small UPI payments, as per the bank’s recent notification. According to the new guidelines, notifications will not be generated for transactions below ₹100 or receipts below ₹500.
Email alerts issued
HDFC Bank has made changes to its UPI-related rules to streamline communication. Typically, most UPI apps already send their notifications. However, customers need not worry as the bank continues to maintain its email notification service.
This means that even if you send or receive amounts less than 100 rupees or 500 rupees respectively, you will receive an email notification, provided your email ID is linked. Users who have already shared their email IDs with the bank receive alerts related to UPI transactions.
