India-Nepal UPI-NPI Remittance Link

India and Nepal launched a cross-border peer-to-peer remittance service on June 6, 2026, by integrating India’s UPI with Nepal’s NPI. The system, implemented by NPCI International and Nepal Clearing House, enables instant transfers using mobile numbers or VPAs. Nepal is the second country after Singapore to achieve such connectivity. The corridor supports faster, cheaper remittances between the two nations. Select Nepali banks are live on the platform. This expands UPI’s international footprint to nine countries.
