Wrong UPI Transfer: Sent money to the wrong UPI ID? Quick action can improve the chances of recovery

Stay Calm: Mistakes happen, but panicking delays the steps that actually help recover the money.

Check Transaction Details: Open the UPI app and note the transaction ID, date, amount, and recipient details.

Contact the Receiver: If possible, politely request the recipient to return the amount voluntarily.

Use In-App Support: Report the issue through the Help or Support section of the UPI app used.

Raise a Bank Complaint: If the app route fails, contact the bank linked to the UPI account with proof.

File a Formal Dispute: Submit a written complaint to the bank if the issue remains unresolved.

Escalate to NPCI: Approach NPCI through official channels if both the app and the bank support fail.

Know the Limits: Recovery depends on recipient consent, timing, and whether funds are still available.
