Compliance in India

The RBI and NPCI rules around payment links in India.

A plain-language guide to the frameworks that may apply. General information only. Not legal, tax, financial or regulatory advice. It is not a statement of Paynancial's own licences or authorisations.

RBI

Payment Aggregator and Payment Gateway guidelines

RBI's framework for payment aggregators — businesses that collect payments on behalf of merchants — covering authorisation, merchant due diligence, how merchant funds are held and settled, and grievance handling.

NPCI

UPI procedural guidelines and circulars

NPCI operates UPI and sets its rules for member banks, UPI apps and other participants through procedural guidelines and circulars, including transaction limits, dispute handling and security requirements.

RBI

Turn Around Time (TAT) for failed transactions

Covers the time within which failed digital transactions — for example, a customer debited without the merchant being credited — are expected to be reversed or resolved across authorised payment systems such as UPI, cards and IMPS, and compensation to the customer when that time is missed.

RBI

Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) for digital payments

Covers how authorised payment system operators and participants offer customers an online, rule-based way to raise and resolve disputes and grievances about digital payments.

Regulators update these rules by circular, so always check the current text at the source: Reserve Bank of India · NPCI. For Paynancial's own security and compliance posture, see the Trust Center.

FAQ

Payment Links questions.

Do I need a website to use payment links?

No — a payment link works entirely on its own; you only need a way to share the link, like email or chat.

Can a link be reused?

A link stays active until it is paid, expires, or you disable it, so it can be shared with more than one customer if left open.

Can a payment link expire?

Yes. Set an expiry date and the link stops accepting payment automatically.

How can I share a payment link?

By email, WhatsApp or SMS, or embedded in an invoice. The customer pays on a secure payment page that shows your business name and the amount due.
