Why is money transferred via UPI not added to the Zerodha account?

If you consistently face issues transferring money from the UPI app, please try a different UPI app.

The UPI transaction may fail when adding money to the Zerodha account for any of the following reasons:

  • Money is transferred directly to Zerodha’s VPA or UPI ID from the UPI app instead of using the Add Funds option on Kite or Coin. See How to add funds to the Zerodha account using UPI?
  • The UPI ID (VPA) is mapped to a bank account that is not registered with Zerodha. UPI transactions from unmapped or unlinked bank accounts will automatically fail and be reversed within 72 working hours. If the funds are not reversed, contact the bank.
  • The UPI request sent to the app was not accepted within 5 minutes.
  • More than 35 UPI transactions were attempted in a day.
  • The daily UPI transfer limit set by the bank was exhausted. UPI transfers have a limit of ₹1 to ₹2 lakh per day. Banks may have further restrictions on the amount per transaction.
  • The UPI ID (VPA) was entered incorrectly.
