Overview

  • From October 1, 2025, all SEBI-registered intermediaries must use structured UPI handles featuring an exclusive “@valid” suffix issued by NPCI.
  • The ‘SEBI Check’ tool will let users scan a QR code or enter a UPI ID to confirm associated bank account numbers and IFSC codes before payment.
  • Intermediaries must adopt the new UPI system by the deadline while existing mutual fund SIPs continue unaffected.
  • Capital market payments via UPI will carry a daily limit of ₹5 lakh under the new framework.
  • SEBI will partner with app stores to ensure only verified payment apps are promoted and require QR codes with a distinctive thumbs-up icon for secure transactions.
