The NPCI {National Payment Corporation of India} wrote on his Twitter account that UPI platform will go under upgradation for next few days so it will not work reliably after midnight.

The reason for not reliably working of the Digital payment platform is that the upgradation process, which will start at 1:00AM and will be continuing till 3:00AM. The users will face some trouble for next few days as it's not specified that the upgradation will take how many days!! "So you all have to avoid the digital payment during the period of 1:00AM to 3:00AM for some coming days."

NPCI runs the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) used for real-time payments between peers or at merchants' end while making purchases.
