The widespread adoption of UPI (Unified Payments Interface) in India has revolutionised the way we manage money. But remembering yet another PIN can be a hassle. Thankfully, UPI offers a convenient option to set your UPI PIN using your Aadhaar card, eliminating the need for debit card details in some cases. This article guides you through setting up a UPI PIN using Aadhaar.

Here's a breakdown of the process to set your UPI PIN using Aadhaar (specific steps might vary slightly depending on your chosen UPI app):
