The most popular instant messaging app Whatsapp have a payment feature for so long.
NPCI allowed the app to add 60 million users to its payment service.

The NPCI has demanded that the instant messaging app should roll out payments service in step-by-step phases.
In a statement, NPCI confirmed increasing the Whatsapp payment service.
To send money on Whatsapp in India, the user should have a bank account and a debit card.
People can send money on WhatsApp to anyone using a UPI supported app.
