It will be available in 10 Indian languages. Whatsapp has tied up with most of the banks in India for the same. It will be made available to 20 million users, which accounts for only 5% of its 400 million users in the country.
Walmart owned PhonePe is currently the most used UPI application in the country having processed 835 million transactions in October with a market share of close to 40%. Googlepay is close with 2nd to follow, having processed 820 million transactions during the month of Octorber.
As per the limitations imposed, a third party application like whatsapp can carry out to 30% of the total volume on the UPI network, the limitation imposed with a view to ally monopoly risks.

Jack Ma managed to sail through the largest ever IPO of $ 35 billion setting all sort of records on the global front when he could garnered demand of nearly $ 3 trillion.
Every 5th of Hong Kong resident lured to apply for the IPO to get the shares allotted to them.
Jack Ma’s blunt and outspoken speech cost him billions of dollars when regulatory authorities called him up and suspended his planned trading to begin last Thursday.
The chaotic unravel of Jack Ma’s ANT IPO sent a clear message to global fraternity that China President Xi Jinping is in charge.
It was heralded as China’s answer to JPMorgan, a home grown financial giant on the cusp of the biggest ever stock market debut the world has ever seen.
The relaunching of the IPO and recounting of the success of this magnitude seems to be a story of past for Jack Ma as per the talks going on at the global financial circles.
