Google Pay supports a wide range of banks for UPI (Unified Payments Interface) transactions in India, allowing users to seamlessly send and receive money directly from their bank accounts. While the platform generally works with most banks that support UPI, specific transaction limits may vary by bank.

For sending money through Google Pay's UPI feature, here are examples of banks and their respective daily transaction limits, as specified for various types of banks:

Supported Banks and UPI Transaction Limits

You can link accounts from a variety of banks to Google Pay for UPI transactions. The following table highlights some of these banks, categorizing them by type and outlining their daily UPI transaction limits when sending money:

Bank Name Bank Type UPI Transaction Limit (INR)
IDFC Private ₹100,000
India Post Payment Bank Payments Bank ₹25,000
Indian Bank Public Sector Bank ₹100,000
Indian Overseas Bank Public Sector Bank ₹50,000

It's important to note that this list is illustrative, and Google Pay is compatible with a vast number of banks that are part of the UPI network in India. Most major public and private sector banks, as well as payments banks, can be linked to your Google Pay account for conducting UPI transactions.

How Google Pay Works with Banks

  • UPI Integration: Google Pay leverages the UPI system, which is an instant payment system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). This allows it to connect directly with any UPI-enabled bank account.
  • Account Linking: To use Google Pay, you typically link your existing bank account to the app using your registered mobile number, which must be the same as the one linked to your bank account.
  • Transaction Types: Beyond sending money, Google Pay facilitates various transactions including:
    • Bill payments (electricity, water, gas, etc.)
    • Mobile recharges
    • Online shopping payments
    • Payments to merchants via QR codes or phone numbers
