Reasons for blocked transfers

Transfers can get blocked for a variety of causes by Risk Shield. It often depends on the transfer type, beneficiary and/or financial institution involved, etc. Here are a few scenarios and reasons for the block.

The table below lists the reasons for a blocked transfer by our Risk Shield:

ReasonExplanation
Bank account blacklistedIf the beneficiary bank account is marked as high risk in our database.
High-risk VPASome Virtual Payments Address(VPA) of aggregators is highly risky.
Email id blacklistedIf the beneficiary email ID is marked as high risk in our database.
Mobile no. blacklistedIf the beneficiary mobile number is marked as high risk in our database.
VPA BlacklistedIf the beneficiary VPA is marked as high risk in our database.

The table below lists the reasons for a blocked transfer due to Smart Limits configuration. Smart Limits allow you to control the transfer amount and disable processing transfers at a scheduled time to mitigate any risk.

ReasonExplanation
Exceeded Transfer LimitThe transfer could not be completed as it exceeded the configured maximum transfer amount limit.
Exceeded Transfer limit per dayThe transfer could not be completed as it exceeded the configured maximum transfer amount limit per day.
Exceeded Transfer limit per monthThe transfer could not be completed as it exceeded the configured maximum transfer amount limit per month.
Exceeded Transfer limit per beneficiary per dayThe transfer could not be completed as it exceeded the configured maximum transfer amount limit per beneficiary per day.
Exceeded Transfer limit per beneficiary per monthThe transfer could not be completed as it exceeded the configured maximum transfer amount limit per beneficiary per month.

The final table below lists the reasons for a blocked transfer due to My Blacklists. Once a beneficiary is added to the blacklist because you regard them as unacceptable or untrustworthy, we block the transfer that is initiated to prevent the beneficiary from receiving any money.

ReasonExplanation
Blocked list - Bank accountThe transfer is blocked because the bank account information of the beneficiary is added in your custom blacklist.
Blocked list - VPAThe transfer is blocked because the UPI VPA information of the beneficiary is added in your custom blacklist.
Blocked list - EmailThe transfer is blocked because the email information of the beneficiary is added in your custom blacklist.
Blocked list - MobileThe transfer is blocked because the mobile information of the beneficiary is added in your custom blacklist.
