DoT's FRI may delay UPI transactions on Paytm, GPay, PhonePe

The DoT's new Financial Fraud Risk Indicator (FRI) flags risky mobile numbers to prevent cyber frauds. Integrated with UPI platforms like Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm, it may delay or block transactions from suspicious numbers. Users facing issues should verify mobile links, contact support, and report threats to cybercrime authorities. Security measures aim to protect digital payments in India.
