In this video, Nikhil Kumar, Volunteer, iSPIRT, provides his perspective on the potential of UPI 2.0. Nikhil explains that UPI 2.0 will generate digital invoices with collect pay requests to help merchants notify the purpose of payment and thereby, attain priority. UPI 2.0 also features facilities of e-signed intent and QR code verification of merchants. Altogether, UPI 2.0 is swifter, smarter and more secure.
