Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) is a new feature of banking and has become popular in India. Under the Digital India Campaign, the UPI payments method is mostly used online service in banking. BHIM app is the first app based on this UPI payments. If you are using BHIM App and facing an issue with the registration process, then this guide is for you. In this article, I have explained how to solve BHIM UPI registration failed issue.
How to solve the issue of “UPI registration failed” in BHIM App
This issue may occur due to various reasons. We will see each possible reason and way to fix that issue.
Solution 1 – Check The SIM is inserted in SIM Slot 1
Many phones have dual SIM tray, and many users take advantage of this feature. Most of the time we make the SMS sending option to SIM 1 only, and if you insert your Bank registered Mobile number in SIM slot2, then the BHIM app may not be able to send the message from SIM2.
Due to this problem, UPI registration cannot be completed, and you may get the error “UPI registration failed”.
To solve the issue insert the SIM in SIM Slot1 always.
Solution 2 – solve UPI registration failed issue by Checking your SIM Balance
UPI registration is done via SMS and requires a balance to send the SMS. If you don’t have a balance in your bank registered mobile number, then verification cannot be completed.
To solve, this issue recharges your number with available topup or SMS pack.
Solution 3 – Check your mobile number is in Network range
If you are using the Wifi connection to download the app, but your Mobile doesn’t have network coverage then SMS sending will get failed. Due to this issue, your registration of UPI can get failed.
To solve the issue, you can move to the area network coverage is good and then try again to register.

Solution 4 – Check if your number is registered in the Bank
Your mobile number might not be registered in the bank. Due to this UPI app is not able to recognize your identity and the UPI registration process gets failed.
To solve this issue, you need to register a mobile number in the Bank. Visit your bank branch and fill-up the form to link your mobile number with the Bank account.
Solution 5 – Keep only one SIM in your phone
sometimes UPI App (BHIM App) may not be able to detect the correct SIM from your available two SIM cards. Due to this, the “UPI registration failed” issue may get arrises.
To solve this issue, just remove the other SIM from the phone and keep your bank registered mobile number in SIM slot1.
Solution 6 – Try after some time as Servers might be busy
UPI service is the fastest-growing feature and facing blackout many times. The issue of “UPI registration failed” may occur due to such server overburden.
You may wait for some time and then try again to register for BHIM UPI.

Solution 7 – Disable VoLTE feature in the phone
One of our readers has provided this excellent solution. He tried all the above solutions and nothing worked, but then he turned off the VoLTE feature from his phone and BHIM UPI registration got successful.
To turn off the VOLTE feature, go to your Settings –> Wireless and Communication –> SIM settings –> Turn off VoLTE.
Many thanks to Mr. Mukharjee for this solution.
Solution 8 – Fully register your Mobile Number in the Bank (and not just for SMS reception)
Some banks only register your mobile number just to receive withdrawal notifications. In this case, you need to link your mobile number with the bank by going to Branch. After you fully register your mobile number with your account, you can now easily register for UPI and UPI registration failed issue will be solved.

Hello, Sarita and Bivek
Your issue might be with the bank. Visit the bank branch and check whether your mobile number is fully registered with your account and not just for sms banking. Ask them to register your mobile number for UPI verification.
I have tried all the steps mentioned in various sites and none could solve my problem.
Then, I turned OFF the VoLTE under SIM settings and mobile data and used wifi, and WAS ABLE TO REGISTER THE UPI
