    Solution

    The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has increased the limit for tax payments via UPI from ₹1 lakh to ₹5 lakh per transaction, addressing the need for high-value transactions in both direct and indirect taxes. Additionally, the RBI has introduced the Delegated Payments feature, allowing a secondary user, such as a spouse, to make payments using the primary user's bank account. This feature also enables users to set a payment limit for others on their account, enhancing the flexibility and usability of digital payment systems for the 424 million UPI users in India.
