Customers in Qatar can now send money directly to UPI-enabled bank accounts in India through a new remittance service, offering a digital payment route for cross-border transfers between the two countries.



The PosTransfer service, powered by UPI, was launched on August 15 through a collaboration between Qatar Post, India Post, the Universal Postal Union’s Interconnection Platform (UPU-IP) and NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL).
