Yes, the NPCI has increased UPI transaction limits, effective September 15, 2025. While the standard daily limit remains ₹1 lakh, the limit for specific, verified merchant categories (like Insurance, Capital Markets, Education, and Hospitals) has been raised to ₹5 lakh per transaction and up to ₹10 lakh per day.
Since these limits are set by the government, users cannot increase or make changes to the UPI limit. Users must adhere to the daily transaction limit guidelines.
However, the limit for Person-to-Person (P2P) transfers remains unchanged at 1 lakh rupees per day. For investments in capital markets and insurance, the per-transaction limit has been increased from 2 lakh rupees to 5 lakh rupees, with a maximum of 10 lakh rupees per day.

The standard daily UPI transaction limit is ₹1 lakh (one lakh), as set by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Therefore, a standard transfer of ₹2 lakh in a single day is generally not possible.

You can transfer large amounts of money, but transactions over $10,000, especially in cash or structured deposits, trigger mandatory reporting (like IRS Form 8300 or Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) reports), not necessarily taxes, to fight money laundering. Banks file reports for cash over $10k (CTR) or suspicious activity (SAR) if they see patterns to avoid reporting (structuring), which can flag accounts even for smaller amounts like $200 if part of a pattern.
Most UPI limits reset at midnight each day, which is a 24-hour cycle. This allows you to transact up to your set limit again the next day. However, the precise reset time can vary depending on your specific bank or payment provider.
