UPI PIN
The secret code you enter to send money on UPI; it is never needed to receive.
Example. You enter your UPI PIN to pay a shop, never to receive a payment.
A UPI PIN is the 4 or 6 digit code you set to authorise payments on UPI. You enter it only to send money out of your account. You never need it to receive money, so anyone asking for your PIN to give you a payment or refund is a scammer.
