It further noted that all other instructions related to the small-value digital payments remain the same.

The RBI had proposed to increase the transaction limit in the monetary policy committee address on August 10.

It had clarified that while the per transaction limit was being raised to Rs 500, the overall limit would be retained at Rs 2,000 to contain the risks associated with relaxation of two-factor authentication.
