It will also be applicable on digital account opening, and initial funding for opening a digital account.

With the increased limits, people will be able to make payments of up to Rs. 5,00,000 per transaction and up to Rs. 10,00,000 for capital market investments, insurance premiums, and other insurance payments, government e-marketplace payments, collections-related payments, and travel-related transactions.
