WhatsApp支付统一支付界面上线(UPI)，尽管最初在功能和访问方面都会受到限制。
UPI网络上的四大银行——ICICI银行、印度国家银行、HDFC银行和Axis银行——以及首次亮相的Jio支付银行已经启用了其后端基础设施，并将促进其用户的资金转移。
WhatsApp多位消息人士称，支付服务在第一阶段将受到限制，因为UPI的基础设施可能无法处理突然涌入的业务量，即使其4亿用户中有相当一部分进行实时资金转移。
在自2018年初开始运营的beta版模式中，只有100万用户可以使用WhastApp的支付服务。现在，用户数量将无限期限制在2000万。
一位业内人士对《印度经济时报》表示:“这将基于首次服务，NPCI仅向WhatsApp Pay新用户发放2000万个虚拟地址。”
周四，运营UPI铁路的印度国家支付公司(NPCI)限制了第三方应用程序的市场份额谷歌UPI网络30%的付费和PhonePe。
WhatsApp Pay用户也只能将其用于点对点(P2P)交易，而不能通过认证商家或零售店的二维码进行交易。
facebook旗下的即时通讯平台的一位发言人表示:“我们期待未来为企业提供支付服务。”
该发言人补充说，该公司的目标是让“发送支付像发送信息一样简单”。NPCI没有回应记者的置评请求。
周五，扎克伯格在一份预先录制的声明中说:“我们一直在与NPCI合作，他们监督一切，以确保安全可靠。我们使用印度的UPI建立了它，这使得任何人都可以轻松地通过不同的应用程序即时接受支付，公司也可以为人们提供出色的服务。”
他补充说:“有了UPI，印度创造了真正特别的东西，为作为印度经济支柱的微型和小型企业打开了一个充满机会的世界。”
业内人士表示，NPCI对交易量的限制正值全球大型科技公司受到越来越多的审查之际。
他们表示，这些限制旨在减轻外部风险，并可能减轻印度央行(Reserve Bank of India)等印度监管机构对垄断和系统性失灵的担忧。
今年6月，就在WhatsApp在其第二大市场巴西推出支付服务一周后，巴西央行暂停了该服务，以“维护移动支付领域的竞争环境”。
今年1月，扎克伯格概述了在印度尼西亚和墨西哥提供WhatsApp支付解决方案的计划。
WhatsApp Pay在印度获得批准之前，经历了近两年的障碍，获得了包括印度储备银行(RBI)在内的多个监管机构的批准，以及对合规和隐私的担忧。
支付技术提供商ACI Worldwide的副总裁兼南亚地区负责人Kaushik Roy表示:“有了WhatsApp Pay，我们肯定不仅会看到现有平台的用户迁移到WhatsApp，还会看到小城市的新用户，在小城市，WhatsApp已经是一个很受欢迎的即时通讯平台。”
他说，与谷歌不同的是，WhatsApp还没有计费解决方案，大多数支付都是低价值交易。
印度国内支付公司PayNearby的首席执行官阿南德·库马尔·巴贾吉(Anand Kumar Bajaj)表示，经过校准的许可从长远来看将有助于普惠金融。
WhatsApp有4亿活跃用户，但只有不到1.6亿人使用移动支付。对WhatsApp的校准许可是支持普惠金融事业的一个良好开端，尤其是在二三线城市。”

WhatsApp Pay<\/a> went live on the Unified Payments Interface (UPI<\/a>) on Friday, in a rollout that will albeit be restricted both in terms of features and access initially.
The top four banks on the UPI network -- ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank \u2013 and debutant Jio Payments Bank have enabled its backend infrastructure and will facilitate transfer of funds for its users.
WhatsApp<\/a> Pay\u2019s services will come with curbs in the first phase, multiple sources said, as the UPI infrastructure may not be able to handle a sudden influx in volumes even if a reasonable chunk of its 400 million users undertake real-time fund transfer.

<\/div><\/div>In its beta-mode, operational since early 2018, only a million users had access to WhastApp\u2019s payment service. Now, the number of users will be capped at 20 million for an indefinite period.
\u201cThis will be based on a first-service basis, with NPCI only issuing 20 million new virtual addresses to WhatsApp Pay for new user onboarding,\u201d an industry insider told ET.
On Thursday, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which operates the UPI railroad, capped the permissible market share for third-party apps such as Google<\/a> Pay and PhonePe at 30% of volumes on the UPI network.
WhatsApp Pay users will also be able to use it only for peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions and not to verified merchants or through QR codes at retail stores.
\u201cWe look forward to making payments available for businesses in the future,\u201d a spokesperson for the Facebook-owned instant messaging platform said.

The company\u2019s goal was to make \u201csending payments as easy as sending a message,\u201d the spokesperson added. NPCI did not respond to requests for comment.
On Friday, Zuckerberg said in a pre-recorded statement: \u201cWe\u2019ve been working on this with the NPCI, who oversee everything to make sure it\u2019s secure and reliable. And we\u2019ve built it using India\u2019s UPI, which makes it easy for anyone to instantly accept payments across different apps -- and for companies to provide people with great services.\u201d

<\/div><\/div>\u201cWith UPI, India has created something truly special and is opening up a world of opportunities for micro and small businesses that are the backbone of the Indian economy,\u201d he added.
Industry insiders said NPCI\u2019s restrictions on volumes come amid growing scrutiny of Big Tech companies around the world.
They said the curbs are aimed at mitigating external risks and are likely to allay the fears of Indian regulators such as the Reserve Bank of India, over monopoly and systemic failure.
In June, just a week after WhatsApp launched its payment services in Brazil \u2013 its second largest market -- the country\u2019s central bank suspended the service to \"preserve the competitive environment\" in the mobile payment space.
In January, Zuckerberg had outlined plans to offer WhatsApp payment solutions in Indonesia and Mexico.
The approval for WhatsApp Pay in India comes after nearly two years of hurdles in getting clearances from multiple regulatory authorities, including the RBI, and concerns over compliance and privacy.
\u201cWith WhatsApp Pay, we will definitely see not just users migrating from incumbent platforms to use WhatsApp but also net new additions from smaller cities where it is already a popular messaging platform,\u201d said Kaushik Roy, vice president and country leader, South Asia for payment tech provider ACI Worldwide.
He said unlike Google, WhatsApp did not have a billing solution yet and that most payments would be low-value transactions.
A calibrated permission will help financial inclusion in the long run, said Anand Kumar Bajaj, the CEO of domestic payments company PayNearby.
\u201cWe have 400 million active WhatsApp users, while less than 160 million avail of mobile payments. Calibrated permission to WhatsApp is a good start to support the cause of financial inclusion, especially in tier 2 and 3 cities,\u201d Bajaj said.
