    India Removes Restrictions on WhatsApp Payments, Allowing Full Rollout

    India has lifted restrictions on WhatsApp’s payment service, marking a major win for Meta as it strives to establish itself in the country’s competitive fintech space. With over 500 million users in India, WhatsApp now has the green light to expand its payment offerings to all users.

    The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the governing body for the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), announced the decision on Tuesday. This move eliminates the previous limit of 100 million users for WhatsApp Pay, signaling a shift in the regulatory stance toward the service’s broader adoption.

    Since its initial rollout in 2020, WhatsApp Pay has faced gradual restrictions. It began with a user cap of 40 million, which was later increased to 100 million in 2022. The latest decision reflects the NPCI’s growing confidence in WhatsApp’s payment platform.

    India’s UPI system, which processes more than 13 billion transactions monthly, is currently dominated by Google Pay and Walmart-backed PhonePe, which together account for over 85% of UPI transactions. The decision to lift WhatsApp’s cap is expected to diversify the market and provide users with more payment options.

    Meanwhile, the NPCI has deferred implementing a proposed 30% market share cap for any single app on the UPI network. Originally planned to curb market concentration, the rule has been postponed until December 31, 2026.

    A WhatsApp spokesperson expressed optimism about the decision, stating, “We’re dedicated to making payments on WhatsApp simple, secure, and accessible. Our goal is to enhance users’ lives through a variety of use cases, including bill payments, ticket bookings, and shopping. We are committed to advancing digital payments and UPI adoption while supporting India’s digital and financial inclusion efforts.”

    This development positions WhatsApp to become a key player in India’s rapidly growing digital payments ecosystem. By leveraging its massive user base and integrating everyday payment functionalities, WhatsApp is poised to challenge established players and further accelerate the adoption of UPI across the country.

    As India continues to prioritize financial inclusion and digital transformation, this decision could play a significant role in shaping the future of its payments landscape.
