Safety Checkpoint 2: When the seller sends a proof of product delivery to PayUPaisa or the buyer explicitly informs PayUPaisa to release the payments, only then the buyer’s money is transferred to the seller. In case if PayUPaisa doesn’t receive any confirmation from the buyer in 3 days after the product delivery, the payments is released to the seller by default.

This team will resolve the dispute in an unbiased way so that the buyer does not face any financial loss. The dispute needs to be resolved in maximum 12 working days and PayUPaisa refunds back the money to the buyer if the dispute is found to be genuine.
PayUPaisa’s Buyer Protection Mechanism
For a country like ours which has a population of over 1.2 billion out of which more than 300 Million have a bank account, and an internet penetration which exceeds 150 million; only fewer than 7 million people actively buying online is a miniscule number. What is even more disappointing is that with over 30 Million SMEs and around 5 Million freelancers in India, fewer than 10,000 people sell online today. PayUPaisa was born out of these needs and intends to solve the above problems. Our objective is to enable 1 million sellers and 20 million buyers on PayUPaisa platform in the next 3. We will redefine the way payments will happen in this country and believe PayUPaisa is a market disrupting payment solution.” quoted Nitin Gupta, Co-founder and CEO at PayU India.
