Here is how to create multiple UPI IDs in Google Pay

In the current digital age, having access to real-time, secure online payments has become quintessential. With its Unified Payments Interface (UPI), India has taken the lead and made significant progress toward promoting digital payment transactions. While digital wallets help make quick and hassle-free payments, sometimes payments might get stuck due to a busy server.

This also ensures that the payment goes through securely, without any delays or failure The user can also delete these IDs at any time they wish to.
