Which country is set to become the eleventh where UPI is accepted?
- A.Kazakhstan
- B.Uzbekistan
- C.Indonesia
- D.Oman
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Uzbekistan. A commercial agreement to bring UPI to that country was announced on 30 August 2026, during the visit of the Prime Minister of India to Uzbekistan, which places it next in line after the ten countries where the payment system already works. Those ten are Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, France, Mauritius, Nepal, Bhutan, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Greece. Option A, Kazakhstan, option C, Indonesia, and option D, Oman, are not part of either the existing list or the announced addition, so all three are wrong. The point to remember is that UPI acceptance abroad has grown in two forms, merchant payments through QR codes and now online bookings at major attractions, and the milestone that began the second form was Eiffel Tower ticketing, launched on 26 January 2024.
