BHIM app gives you an easy way to digital payments. But, It also has a limit for fund transfer. You can’t pay as much money as you want. In Fact, BHIM has set a lower limit in comparison to other UPI Apps.

Transaction Limits of BHIM
There are 3 types of transaction limits.
Per transaction Limit
Through the BHIM, you can,t pay more than ₹20 thousand in a transaction. So if you want to pay more than ₹20 thousand, you have to pay twice.
Daily Limit
The daily limit for BHIM app transaction is ₹40,000. If you want to transfer more than ₹40 thousand, wait for the date change.
Number of Transaction
There is also a limit to the number of transactions through the BHIM app. The UPI prohibits more than 10 transactions by an account in 24 hours. Therefore, you can’t pay more than 10 times using the BHIM. This limit of 10 transactions is applicable across the UPI apps. So, the total UPI transaction from a bank account should not cross 10, irrespective of the UPI app.
Security is the Reason For Limit
Why is there a limit on a transaction? Why can’t NPCI make it unlimited just like the internet banking transaction?
The reason for this limit is the security. BHIM or any other UPI apps are very easy to use. You would also agree that banking through these apps is simpler than the net banking. There is less security check and hurdles. That is why you love UPI apps.
But, you would notice that it is not as much secure as internet banking account. In an internet banking, you have to give alphanumeric login and transaction password. These passwords are difficult to steal while PIN can be stolen easily. Besides this, banks further authenticate by asking questions or grid numbers.
On the other hand, one can fraudulently steal money by using your mobile number. The fraudster only needs to know your login PIN, UPI PIN and handset. In such case, the transaction limit would restrict your loss. No one would be able to steal a big amount from your account. Meanwhile, you can block your mobile number and online transaction.
Fund Transfer Limit of Other Means
Other UPI Apps
However, other UPI apps have a higher limit of a transaction. Tez, Paytm, Phonepe, SBI Pay permits the transaction of up to ₹1 lakh per day. It is applicable to single transaction as well. In fact, the NPCI has set the maximum limit for UPI transaction. This limit is ₹1 lakh. Most of the apps have permitted the transaction up to this limit. But, BHIM has a shorter bar.
IMPS
The maximum limit for IMPS is much higher, you can transfer up to ₹2 lakh through the IMPS.
NEFT
There is no maximum or minimum limits for NEFT fund transfer. But you have to wait for the actual transfer.
RTGS
The RTGS has a lower limit. You can use it only for the 2 lakh or above. There is no upper limit. It transfers money instantly during the bank working hours.

Suman Malakar says
June 26, 2018 at 11:46 PMIt fetches the bank accounts that is fine BUT it does not ask for bank user id and password before making that bank account functional on the app for the first time looks like a threat to me.

June 27, 2018 at 7:53 AMThe system verifies real user through the registered mobile number. Further, a transaction can take place only after using UPI PIN. The PIN is set by using ATM details.

Nagachary Siddoju says
May 5, 2018 at 6:37 PMI could not understand these lines “the UPI prohibits more than 20 transactions by a user. Therefore, you can pay more than 20 times using Tez. This limit of 20 transactions is applicable across the UPI apps. So, the total UPI transaction should not cross 20, irrespective of the UPI app.”
Because Tej is also a UPI-based app but you say it allows more than 20 transactions per day.
