Sat Apr 12 07:30:00 UTC 2025: ## UPI Services Disrupted Nationwide for Third Time in Two Weeks
**New Delhi, [Date of Publication]** – Users across India experienced widespread disruptions to the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system on Saturday, marking the third major technical outage in the past two weeks. Millions of transactions reportedly failed due to intermittent technical issues affecting the system.
According to the outage tracking website Downdetector, reports of failed UPI transactions began surging after 11:30 AM on Saturday. This follows similar major disruptions on March 26th and April 2nd.
The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) acknowledged the problem, stating, “NPCI is currently facing intermittent technical issues, leading to partial UPI transaction declines. We are working to resolve the issue, and will keep you updated. We regret the inconvenience caused.” The exact cause of the outages remains unconfirmed.
The recurring nature of these widespread disruptions raises concerns about the reliability of India’s widely used digital payment system. The NPCI has not yet provided a timeline for a complete resolution or details on the underlying causes of these repeated failures.
