Will get money back like this
According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), by taking the right steps, money sent to the wrong account by mistake can be recovered. For this, RBI says that in case of unintentional transactions through digital services, the victim should first inform the payment app or system from which the transaction was done. You can contact the customer care of UPI apps Paytm, Google Pay and PhonePe if money goes to the wrong account. You can request for refund by calling them.
