What should I check while making payment using the new UPI IDs/ QR Code?

Investors need to keep following things into consideration:

1. The UPI ID should properly show the name of the intermediary, followed by the short
abbreviation of their category for example “brk” for Brokers, “ra” for Research Analysts
and “pms” for Portfolio Management Services to the left of the “@” character.

Accordingly, the complete handle for a registered intermediary will look as below:
For Broker: xxx.brk@validhdfc
For Research Analysts: xxx.ra@validhdfc
For PMS: xxx.pms@validhdfc
For DP: xxx.dp@validhdfc

2. On the right side of the “@”, the new and exclusive handle “@valid” should be present,
followed by the bank name.

3. On the confirmation screen, the app should show a white thumbs-up icon inside a green
triangle.

4. The QR code generated using the utility will have a white thumbs-up icon inside a green
triangle. It will also display the UPI ID just below the QR code.
