Google Play adds UPI Autopay support for subscription-based payments in India

Google Play has just announced its own UPI-based automatic payment option for users in India who pay for in-app subscriptions. The new Google Play UPI Autopay payment option will help users make recurring payments with ease using any UPI application that supports the feature. This should ensure some relief for users given recurring payments have been failing since RBI introduced its new norms where companies are no longer allowed to store card information without prior user consent.

The new option on Google Play will support apps such as Google Pay, Paytm and Amazon and others. UPI Autopay was introduced under UPI 2.0 by NPCI, and is designed to help users make recurring payments easily with a UPI-based app of their choice.
