Google Pay is a digital wallet platform and online payment system from Google which helps power in-app and tap-to-pay purchases on mobile phones. This enables people to make payments, and send or request money from one's family and friends, straight from their bank account using their iPhone or Android devices. The app also allows one to recharge prepaid phones and pay the utility bills.

Google Pay limit
Google Pay supports generic Unified Payments Interface (UPI) API calls to make transactions in India. So, you will hit a daily Google Pay transfer limit when you try to make a transaction over ₹1,00,000 in a day across all the UPI applications. It also restricts you from sending money more than 10 times in one day across all UPI apps. However, since there is a limit of ₹1 lakh in a day, a single transaction cannot be more than ₹1 lakh and you will need to wait until the next day to send more money.
