India's National Payments Corporation is developing a registry to verify AI agents transacting on its Unified Payments Interface, aiming to initially vet AI agents for small payments with plans to expand coverage and address liability through future regulation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 20 sources have reported it between 1 Sep 2026 and 11 Sep 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for verified AI transactions on UPI where registered agents will handle payments independently, opening a new channel but increasing your compliance requirements this year.
