The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has approved an additional sixty (60) million users on UPI for WhatsApp. With this approval, WhatsApp will be able to expand the service to its 100 million users, a significant victory for the payments service that Meta hasn’t yet heavily marketed to users. In November 2021, WhatsApp was allowed by NPCI to expand its registered user base to 40 million in UPI from 20 million users a year ago.
