What is the structure of a UPI ID?

A UPI ID consists of two parts separated by the '@' symbol: a username prefix (e.g. phone number or name) and a bank handle suffix (e.g. okaxis, ybl, paytm).

Is it safe to validate my UPI ID on this site?

Yes. The validation script executes locally inside your web browser. We do not store, log, or share your payment handles.

Can a UPI ID contain spaces or special characters?

No. UPI IDs must not contain spaces. The prefix can only include letters, numbers, periods (.), and hyphens (-).
