    Solution

    SEBI’s circular specifies that old UPI IDs will be phased out by December 11, 2026 , following the introduction of a validated UPI handle ‘@valid’ . This initiative is aimed at improving digital payment security for investors. The transition period gives sufficient time to nearly 8,000–9,000 intermediaries to comply.
