UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become synonymous with convenient digital payments in India. But what if you forget your UPI PIN? Do not worry, this guide will help you reset your UPI PIN quickly and securely.
How to avoid forgetting your UPI PIN
Let’s face it, remembering multiple PINs can be tricky. Here are some tips to help you avoid forgetting your UPI PIN in the first place:
- Choose a memorable PIN: Do not use easily guessable numbers like your birthdate or 1234. Opt for a combination of numbers that you can easily remember but isn't obvious to others.
- Write it down (securely): If you absolutely cannot remember numbers easily, consider noting down your UPI PIN on a piece of paper. However, store it securely, away from prying eyes.
Common issues with UPI PIN
There are two main scenarios when you might need to reset your UPI PIN:
- Forgotten PIN: You simply cannot recall your UPI PIN.
- Multiple incorrect attempts: Entering the wrong UPI PIN three times consecutively can lock your account. In this case, you'll need to reset your PIN to regain access.
How to recover your forgotten UPI PIN
The process to reset your forgotten UPI PIN might vary slightly depending on your chosen UPI app. Here is a general guideline:
- Open your UPI app.
- Navigate to the ‘SETTINGS’ or ‘PROFILE’ section.
- Look for the option related to UPI PIN or Manage UPI PIN.
- You might see an option like ‘FORGOT PIN’ or ‘RESET PIN.’ Select that option.
- You might be prompted to enter the last few digits of your debit card linked to the UPI account and its expiry date.
- Depending on the app, you might receive an OTP (One-Time Password) on your registered mobile number or an email with a reset link.
