Unified Payment Interface has brought revolution in payment system in India, making instant real-time payment system possible. This study is focused on looking at engineering side of Unified Payment Interface and its impact around advancement of digitization. Here we see behind Unified Payment Interface engineering infrastructure and how it works. This study also elaborates on surgencies of digitization through Unified Payment Interface mode in India. Study was carried out by taking survey, using Right to Information Act, and understanding computing side of Unified Payment Interface. In survey 214 individuals were asked 20 questions irrespective of age, location, sex, income background, education and religion in India.
