UPI vs Bank Transfer / p2p
| Rail | Deposit fee | Processing time | Withdrawal hold | Withdraw back to method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UPI | Free | Instant | None | No |
| Bank Transfer | Free–0.5% | 0–1 business day | None | Yes |
| p2p | 0%–1% (maker/taker ad pricing) | Minutes | None | Yes |
UPI is the cheaper rail here (Free vs Free–0.5% on Bank Transfer) — the trade-off is timing or holds, so plan withdrawals around the settlement window instead of paying the faster rail's surcharge.
