Select your HDFC Bank account in the app and link it to your newly created UPI ID. Set UPI PIN:
Create a UPI PIN if prompted. This PIN will be required for authorizing transactions.

Choose the option to make a payment within the app. Enter the Recipient's UPI ID:
You can either enter the recipient's UPI ID (VPA) or scan their QR code if available. Enter the Amount:
Input the amount you wish to transfer. Add a Note (optional):
Some apps allow you to add a note for reference purposes. Confirm the Payment:
Review the details and confirm the transaction. Enter UPI PIN:
You will be prompted to enter your UPI PIN to authorize the payment. Transaction Confirmation:
Once the payment is successful, you will receive a confirmation notification.

Additional Tips for HDFC Bank UPI Users

Check Transaction Limits:
Be aware of any transaction limits set by HDFC Bank or the UPI app. Security:
Keep your UPI PIN confidential and do not share it with anyone. Transaction History:
You can check your transaction history within the UPI app for your records.

Note: Users of the HDFC Bank's Mobile Banking app may want to remember the alternative method to make a payment, which involves logging in and selecting Account BHIM / UPI Pay before entering the amount, description, and clicking on PAY.

By following these steps, HDFC Bank account holders can easily and securely make payments using UPI, taking advantage of this fast, convenient, and secure payment method.
