Don’t forget to share this with your friends on social media and educate them with this new initiative by PM Narendra Modi Ji. Thanks for reading. :)
While setting up the registration I clicked the ‘sync’ tab which syncs UPI PIN in other UPI apps.To my knowledge i don’t have any other UPI app. subsequently I am unable to set up UPI PIN. msh comes that UPI PIN reset failed. Yet when i try to send money it says that UPI PIN needs to be set up and gives NOT NOW/PROCEED tabs.
Am absolutely confused! Do I have UPI PIN previously?
Tried uninstalling and also cancel UPI PIN through USSD but to no avail.
