Complaint against PhonePe: grievance officer and escalation

Updated 2026-10 · General information, not legal advice. · Reviewed by: Ayush Sachan, Advocate, 2026-10-27 · How we review

Start with PhonePe's own grievance process, then escalate through NPCI and the RBI Ombudsman if it is not solved. This page links to the company's official page. Official page checked on 27 October 2026. Names and contact details can change, so read them there, not here.

What it handles

  • Money debited but payment failed
  • Wrong or fraudulent UPI payment
  • Refund and wallet problems

How to file

  1. 1

    Raise it in the app at once

    Use Help on the transaction in the PhonePe app and note the transaction ID and the UTR number.

  2. 2

    Use the grievance policy

    PhonePe's Grievance Policy page lists its levels: customer support first, then grievance registration, then the Nodal Officer. Keep every ticket number.

  3. 3

    Dispute with NPCI if needed

    For a UPI payment that failed or went to the wrong person, you can raise a dispute on the NPCI UPI dispute page.

  4. 4

    Go to the RBI Ombudsman

    If the company has not solved it in 30 days, file free at cms.rbi.org.in. For fraud, call 1930 the same day.
