On August 15, 2026, a new UPI-powered remittance service was launched to facilitate direct money transfers from Qatar to India. Developed through a collaboration between Qatar Post, India Post, the Universal Postal Union’s Interconnection Platform, and NPCI International Payments Limited, the service allows customers to send funds from Qatar Post outlets to UPI-enabled bank accounts in India.

Transaction limits for the service range from QAR 10 to QAR 4,000 per transfer, with a maximum cap equivalent to ₹1,00,000. Each transaction incurs a flat service fee of QAR 15. The initiative is intended to strengthen digital financial connectivity and bilateral cooperation between India and Qatar, specifically benefiting the Indian community residing in Qatar.
