PURVIEW
Sets operational safeguards for protecting UPI user information and limiting unnecessary exposure of payment identifiers and related user data within the UPI ecosystem. Its significance for AI is practical: any AI assistant, analytics system or fraud-detection tool connected to payment infrastructure may receive identifiers or transaction context, so masking, minimisation, access control and purpose limitation become important before such data reaches downstream systems.
Classification and legal status. NPCI operating / ecosystem requirement; operationally binding within the UPI scheme framework, not general legislation.
