UPI ID, or virtual payment address, an alias of a bank account in the Unified Payments Interface run by the National Payments Corporation of India. It has the form prefix@handle: the user chooses the prefix, such as a name or mobile number, and the handle is fixed by the payment app or bank. NPCI does not publish the allowed characters; the regexp follows those used by payment apps and rejects e-mail addresses, whose domain has a dot.
