UPI payments and IFSC PUNB0018200

UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the default way for individuals to send money in India.

If a UPI transfer to or from this branch fails, the most common reasons are an inactive UPI handle, a daily limit breach or a temporary outage at one of the participating banks — not the IFSC.
