So this is one advantage of using this card. Because they have introduced a technology called UPI only in this Rupay card.

So, if we put this type of UPI technology in our Rupay card, we can easily scan and pay anywhere we want. we do not need to pay any extra charges for that. Then the only disadvantage is that we can use it only in India and it cannot be used globally because it is a card created in India. This type of rupay card created in India has some more benefits.
