You can update your mobile number with your bank using the bank's mobile app, internet banking, ATM, or by visiting a branch. Once the request is accepted, confirm the change by running a test transaction alert to ensure your new number receives messages properly.
UPI onboarding relies on the mobile number registered with your bank. After updating your bank details, open your UPI app to check if your account is still linked, and verify your new number and registration.
