Setup UPI Lite X
Both the Sender and Receiver must have NFC-supported Android devices. Various models are available with the NFC facility to make tap-and-pay transactions. Before making a transaction, both the sender and receiver can confirm they have valid or supported devices to make transactions through UPI Lite X.
