2. Linked to Bank Account

The UPI PIN is the key to your bank account. Thus it is linked to the account only. Every bank account has only one UPI PIN at a time.

The UPI PIN of a bank account remains same irrespective of the UPI App. The UPI app only facilitates the setting and resetting of it.

Thus the same number can be used in Paytm, Phonepe, or any UPI App for the same bank account.
