Digital Payments Reliability Index
Volume-weighted average UPI Technical Decline rate across a named basket of the largest remitter banks, in basis points.
Source. NPCI — UPI Ecosystem Statistics — Technical Decline, top 50 remitter banks.
Scaling. ×1.8, as published.
Who hedges this. Large merchants and quick-commerce platforms, where a decline spike is direct lost revenue; payment aggregators with uptime obligations; lenders collecting on UPI autopay mandates.
Methodology note. Technical Decline only, never Business Decline: BD is user behaviour (wrong PIN, exceeded limit) while TD is infrastructure failure, and only the latter is the risk being transferred. Scaled x1.8 so that a typical basket reading lands near 110 index points, inside the 30-200 corridor; one index point is therefore 0.56 basis points of decline.
