How to Pay Credit Card Bill through UPI

The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) will soon allow users to link their RuPay credit cards to it, enabling them to utilize their credit cards to make UPI payments, according to a 2022 announcement from the Reserve Bank of India.

Do Remember UPI PIN

You must create a 4-digit or 6-digit UPI PIN in order to use your credit card on the BHIM app. Right from the app, you may establish the PIN or modify it.

Accounts of merchants

The BHIM app allows you to add credit cards, however you can only use those cards to make purchases from merchants. This implies that using your credit will only be possible when you are scanning a retailer's QR code; regular accounts will not be supported.
