The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday said the digital payments connectivity with Sri Lanka will enable Indian travellers to make QR code-based payments at merchant locations in Sri Lanka using their UPI apps.
Also, an Indian traveller to Mauritius will be able to pay a merchant in Mauritius using UPI. Similarly, a Mauritian traveller will be able to do the same in India using the Instant Payment System (IPS) app of Mauritius.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with Prime Minister of Mauritius Pravind Kumar Jugnauth, and President of Sri Lanka Ranil Wickremesinghe, witnessed the virtual launch of RuPay cards and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) connectivity between India and Mauritius, as well as UPI connectivity between India and Sri Lanka.
