Set It and Forget It: Using UPI to Never Miss an EMI Again

You’re running from meeting to meeting. Deadlines. Calls. Messages. Somewhere in between, you remember your personal loan EMI was due yesterday. Now there’s a late fee waiting for you.
It’s not that you can’t pay. It’s just that with so much on your plate, remembering every due date is almost impossible.
But what if you never had to remember it at all? With UPI AutoPay, your EMI gets paid on time, every time. No stress or even penalties. Just one less thing to worry about.
 

Why Missing an EMI Hurts More Than You Think

When you pay EMIs manually, your hectic schedule can get in the way. It's easy to forget your EMI repayment date. You can’t recall which app to log into. You push it to “later”...and suddenly, it’s too late.
One missed payment can drop your credit score by 50–70 points. That’s a big hit for something that could’ve been avoided. Late fees add to your cost. And if it happens more than once, lenders may see you as a risky borrower, lowering your chances of getting a personal loan in the future.
The solution? Make it impossible to forget.

What is UPI AutoPay for EMIs? A Quick Breakdown

UPI AutoPay lets you set up recurring payments for fixed amounts like your personal loan EMI (or even other bills) directly from your bank account using your UPI ID. You approve it once, and your EMI is automatically debited on the due date.
It’s secure and flexible, thanks to the trusted UPI platforms. This means you can pause, change, or cancel the mandate whenever you need.
