What is an RBI Purpose Code and why is it mandatory?

The Reserve Bank of India requires every cross-border inbound credit to specify a valid Purpose Code (e.g., P0802 for software services, P0102 for travel). The GlobalPayment API enforces this field during pre-flight validation.

What is the single transfer limit for IMPS and UPI?

NPCI UPI permits up to INR 100,000 (~$1,200 USD) per transaction, while IMPS supports up to INR 500,000 (~$6,000 USD). Transfers above this threshold cascade automatically to NEFT/RTGS during business hours.
