A massive outage of UPI (Unified Payments Interface) services in India on popular platforms like Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm left users stranded and sparked a meme fest online as frustrated netizens turned to humour to cope with the chaos. This is the third time this month that "UPI Down" has got the users in a fix. From hilarious "kidney for cash" jokes to dramatic recreations of restaurant owners making people "wash dishes" in order to pay after eating to people begging shopkeepers to accept cash, social media was flooded with funny takes on the payment disruption. While the technical glitch disrupted countless transactions across the country, X (previously known as Twitter) and Instagram became the stage for comic relief, with UPI Down funny memes and jokes going viral faster than a UPI transaction — when it's actually working!
