PhonePe enables Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) for UPI

Walmart-backed payments company PhonePe has announced enabling dispute resolution for UPI-related transactions through UPI Unified Dispute and Issue Resolution (UDIR) system. 

UDIR will work as an automated, single-channel redressal system and allows customers to raise complaints on the PhonePe app directly. The complaint is then redirected to the relevant bank or Payment Service Provider (PSP) for resolution.

Currently, the system addresses finalisation for pending transactions, confirmation of refund credit to the remitter’s account in case of failed transactions, and the ability to raise complaints which can be resolved in an automated manner by the respective bank/PSP. 

RBI first rolled out the framework for online dispute resolution for Payment System Operators in August, 2020.
