Always check the UPI ID.

A "loan settlement" page that never names the lender and takes the money to one person's UPI ID. Real lenders collect in their own name, on their own site or app. Money sent to a stranger's UPI ID can't be traced or reversed.

1Where it livesCheck firstIs it the real company's or person's own address or number?

You pay HDFC Bank on hdfc.bank.in, the bank's own address.

You pay rajesh.k8891@ybl, one person's UPI ID, on a page with no lender's name.

2What it asks you to doDoes it want a password, a payment, a call, or a tap?

It asks your loan account number and shows what you really owe.

It wants ₹8,450 sent by UPI and the UTR number as proof.

3How hard it pushesIs there a deadline, a threat, or a surprise charge?

No threat.

Pay today or face late charges and a court case.

RememberOnly repay a loan in the lender's own app or site, to the lender's name. Never to a personal UPI ID someone sends you.
