Handles 5 to 6 Million daily transactions easily.

5-Parameter Detective Engine

Matches Ref #, Amount, Status, Cash, & Date.

Lightning-Fast Refunds

What Is This Project?

Replacing Manual Excel Checks with Instant Software Intelligence

Every single day, thousands of UPI payments hit unexpected roadblocks: money gets deducted from the sender's account but never reaches the receiver, or network timeouts leave status unknown.

Currently, banks spend endless hours manually cross-checking giant Excel spreadsheets to find errors. Metrics Reconciliation automates this entire process: it cross-checks records in seconds, spots every mismatch, and tracks customer refunds until money is safely returned.

Instant NPCI Matching

Cross-checks bank records against NPCI files automatically.

Zero Human Errors

Eliminates manual spreadsheet cross-referencing mistakes.

Fast Reversals

Automated refund task dispatch to ops team queues.

RBI Compliance

Guarantees adherence to regulatory turnaround times.

Understanding UPI Payments

Why Do UPI Payments Get Stuck?

A single UPI payment relies on three separate systems working together. If any connection drops, money gets trapped halfway.

1

Sender's Bank (Remitter)

Deducts cash from the customer's bank account when they initiate a payment order.

2

NPCI (Central Switch)

The central traffic manager that routes payments and balances money transfers between banks.

3

Receiver's Bank (Beneficiary)

Deposits the incoming cash into the recipient's bank account upon receiving signal.

ISSUE 01

Debited / Not Credited

Money leaves sender's account but fails to reach the receiver due to switch dropouts.

Auto Refund Initiated
ISSUE 02

Network Timeouts

Bank server took too long to answer, leaving payment status unconfirmed in limbo.

Status Check Ticket
ISSUE 03

Duplicate Deductions

System accidentally charged the customer twice for a single payment.

Multi-Debit Refund
ISSUE 04

Missing Settlements

Money was paid out, but the bank hasn't received its cash transfer from NPCI yet.

Before & After Transformation

Old Spreadsheet Way vs. New Automated Way

Shift your bank operations from manual spreadsheet checking to an automated, zero-error reconciliation pipeline.

The Old Manual Way

Spreadsheet Bottlenecks & Delayed Refunds

  • Bank staff manually open massive Excel files containing millions of rows.
  • Manual cross-checking of Reference Numbers (RRN) leads to human errors and missed cases.
  • Manual phone calls and email follow-ups delay customer refunds for days.
  • High risk of missing strict regulator deadlines, resulting in RBI compliance fines.
Friction & Customer Complaints Slow Process →
The New Automated Way

Instant 5-Parameter Auto-Matching

  • Bank staff easily drag-and-drop daily files into the system with automatic PGP decryption.
  • Software matches millions of records in seconds across Ref #, Amount, Status, Cash, & Date.
  • Action tickets created automatically, triggering customer refund reversals immediately.
  • Real-time Day 0 to Day 3 countdown timers guarantee 100% adherence to RBI turnarounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About UPI Reconciliation

How does the 5-parameter matching engine work?
The matching engine ingests official daily NPCI settlement files and bank core banking system (CBS) transaction logs. It evaluates every record across 5 key parameters: Retrieval Reference Number (RRN), Transaction Amount, Payment Status Code, Settlement Amount, and Transaction Date. Records matching 100% on all 5 parameters are marked as Success, while any parameter mismatch immediately triggers an Exception Action Ticket.
Can the system scale to handle 50 to 60 Lakh transactions daily?
Yes. Metrics Reconciliation is engineered specifically for high-throughput commercial and regional banks. The database layer utilizes indexed multi-table partitioning and asynchronous batch processing to execute matching across 5–6 million records per day in minutes without slowing down CBS operations.
How does the TAT Clock Watcher protect banks from RBI fines?
RBI mandates strict turnaround times (TAT) for failed UPI reversals (typically T+1 day compensation rules). The TAT Watcher attaches a real-time countdown timer to every open exception case from Day 0. If a case is unhandled by Day 2, it automatically escalates to senior supervisory dashboards to mandate immediate resolution before Day 3 penalties occur.
Are encrypted PGP files supported during drag-and-drop upload?
Yes. The File Management module natively supports automated PGP decryption using private key integration. Official NPCI files uploaded in encrypted format are automatically decrypted in memory, validated for schema compliance and duplicate detection, and passed directly into the reconciliation engine.
