On Monday evening, a digital breakdown -like atmosphere suddenly created an atmosphere across the country. People had gone out to make cashless payment, but the payment is not available. Actually, big digital payment platforms like Paytm, Google Pay and PhonePe suddenly went down and online transactions were stuck across the country.
Flood of complaints on social media platforms
Users on social media platforms like X and Instagram brought floods of complaints. The number of reports on a website like Downdetector also suddenly increased. On opening Paytm, users were getting direct error messages, “UPI App is Facing Some Issues.” That is, it was clear that the problem was not limited to only one app, but there was a major technical disturbance in the entire UPI system.
This is the third time
The thing to see is that this is the third time in the last one month when the UPI service has come to a standstill. A system on which millions of people depend on every day, this way to crash again and again is bothering people. Especially shopkeepers, cab drivers and common consumers were badly affected.
Records were made in March, now questions on trust
Let us tell you that in March 2025, UPI transactions set a record in India, a total of 18.30 billion transactions, which was 5 per cent higher than in February. There was a total transaction of 24.77 lakh crore in March. But the speed with which Digital India is moving forward, now the question has started to arise whether such technical flaws can stop its speed?
Who is the king of UPI?
PhonePe became the biggest player in the world of UPI in March, which did 864.7 crore transactions, ie about 47 percent of the entire system. At the same time, Google Pay handled more than 36 percent transactions. Both apps are handling a large part of UPI together, but when the server down, all these big names are not able to give relief to the users.
