PhonePe has launched UPI Lite two months after Paytm introduced it. UPI Lite is designed to make small transactions convenient and more reliable.

Smaller transactions
UPI Lite is for transactions up to Rs. 200. It uses an on-device wallet, eliminating the need for entering a UPI pin and reducing payment failures.

How-to
Users can enable UPI Lite on Phonpe without KYC authentication. Go to home screen and tap UPI Lite -> Enter amount -> Select bank account -> Enter UPI pin
4
Wallet
PhonPe allows users to add Rs. 2,000 to the Lite account. Users will receive transaction history from banks via SMS.

Improving efficiency
UPI Lite will reduce the dependency of low-value transactions on core UPI infrastructure, allowing the system to handle higher-value payments.
