To protect devotees from possible online frauds amid the ongoing Mahakumbh 2025 in Prayagraj, BharatPe has launched a new initiative, the 'Maha Kumbh Shield.'
The one-of-a-kind program is designed to protect Unified Payments Interface (UPI) users from cyber threats and phishing scams related to digital transactions.
The shield protects digital payments up to ₹25,000 at no extra cost.

If a user faces any payment fraud or digital scam while transacting through BharatPe, they can claim compensation within 10 days.
The plan covers UPI payments up to ₹25,000, making sure that devotees have a secure platform for their digital transactions during the event.

First month of 'Maha Kumbh Shield' is free for users
The 'Maha Kumbh Shield' can be activated by installing the BharatPe app and making the first transaction at Mahakumbh 2025 in Prayagraj.
The plan is free for UPI users for the first month after installation. After this, they can continue availing its benefits by paying a nominal fee of ₹19/month.
