What is UPI ID?

Basically UPI id is a digital id or address to recognize a UPI connected with any bank account. As if you use any apps like Google Pay, Bhim etc, then these apps provides you an UPI id ending with their name. For example @ybl @upi, @apl, @paytm etc.
And the starting phase will be used as your phone number connected with your bank account or email address also.
UPI id provided by any app will be always unique as they can not assign single id to two people. Because these are used to transfer money and also they are connected with bank.
One bank account can be connected with multiple UPI apps and can have multiple UPI id but one app can provide only single UPI id. Which means if you created your UPI id on PhonePe then you can not create another UPI on PhonePe for that bank account.
