Summary
- UPI processed 21.63 billion transactions in December.
- Consumer spending during holidays drove digital payment surge.

India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) experienced a significant rebound in December, achieving record transaction volumes and values. The system processed 21.63 billion transactions, surpassing November's figures, with a total transaction value reaching Rs 27.97 lakh crore. This upward trend was largely attributed to increased consumer spending during the festive Christmas and New Year season.
Year-on-year, UPI demonstrated robust growth, with transaction volumes up by 29% and values increasing by 20%. Other digital payment methods like IMPS and FASTag also saw a rise in activity. However, the Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AePS) witnessed a sequential decline in transactions during December.
