UPI Down on April 12, 2025: Users Face Payment Issues Across India On April 12, 2025, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) faced a major outage, causing trouble for millions of users in India. Popular apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm stopped working, leaving people unable to make digital payments or transfer money.
The issue started around 11:30 AM, with over 2,000 complaints reported by noon, according to Downdetector. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) confirmed the problem, saying it was due to a technical glitch.
They are working to fix it but have not shared when services will be back to normal. This is the third UPI outage in the last 30 days, following similar issues on March 26 and April 2.
