What the figures measure

is India’s shared instant-payments network. This ranking measures the app used to initiate a payment, not the recipient’s app, app revenue or unique customers.

Shares use the official payer-app transaction total as their denominator. They should not be recalculated using a newer month’s headline network total.

Each comparison snapshot has its own date. An app absent from a snapshot has no reported observation here; absence is not zero.

The table retains the source’s published periods. Missing observations are not zero and have not been interpolated.

Historical comparisons retain each snapshot’s payer-app denominator. Missing apps are not treated as zero.
