Google Pay has introduced Pocket Money on UPI Circle, allowing users to help friends and family make UPI payments without requiring them to have a bank account.\u00a0Explaining how UPI Circle works, Google said: “As an existing UPI user on Google Pay, you’re a Primary user and you can add family members, friends or employees. They become a Secondary user to your UPI Circle.”<\/p>\n
Secondary users can then make payments with the help of the Primary user’s bank account, simplifying digital transactions. This feature is ideal for managing allowances, supporting dependents or assisting employees with payments. “As a Primary user, you can set transaction limits and payment authorisation,” Google noted.<\/p>\n
There are two ways to do this. In Google Pay’s UPI Circle, Primary users can control spending by setting transaction limits and payment approvals. With full delegation, you can assign a monthly limit of up to Rs 15,000. This allows Secondary users to pay directly within the limit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
