We all use various utility services like electricity, water, gas, internet, and more. These services are chargeable on a monthly or yearly basis. We end bills at the end of the month or year. To increase convenience and to help people pay their bills on time, NPCI has launched AutoPay for UPI users which allows them to pay their recurring bills on time. Apart from utility services, AutoPay is also available for app subscription and online services. If your account automatically gets debited for a specific amount every month or year automatically there are high chances you or someone else on your behalf have activated AutoPay for some service on your UPI account. 

You can check which services have access to AutoPay on your UPI account by following these steps.

Meanwhile, Smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. They are no longer just used for making calls and sending messages, but also for digital payments and banking. Our smartphones store a wealth of personal information, such as documents, photos, apps, social media details, and location data. 

If this information gets into the wrong hands, it can lead to fraud. Many apps on smartphones require specific permissions to operate. Even after uninstalling these apps, they may still continue to collect your personal information.

In such a situation, it's crucial to promptly review and manage these permissions. Here is a guide on how to check and revoke app permissions on your smartphone.
