Check the official app

Start where the mandate was created: UPI app, bank app, app store, or merchant account.

Revoke with UPI PIN

Most UPI mandate changes need confirmation inside the payment app.

Keep proof

Save status screenshots, emails, debit SMS messages, and support tickets.

Some subscriptions have two separate controls: the payment mandate and the service subscription. Cancel the UPI mandate to stop automatic debit, and also cancel the merchant plan if the merchant account still shows an active plan or dues.

FAQ

Can Essara cancel my UPI AutoPay mandate?

No. Essara tracks and reminds manually. Cancellation must happen inside the UPI app, bank app, NPCI flow, or merchant account that controls the mandate.

Where do I cancel Google Pay AutoPay?

Google Pay says live mandates can be managed from Profile, then Autopay, then the Live tab. Choose the mandate, select pause or cancel, and confirm with UPI PIN.

What if the UPI app does not show the cancel option?

Check the merchant account, the bank app UPI mandates section, and NPCI or bank support. Keep screenshots of the mandate, failed cancellation attempts, and debit messages.

Does cancelling AutoPay cancel the subscription itself?

Not always. Cancelling a payment mandate can stop future automatic debits, but you may still need to cancel the service in the merchant app to avoid dues, account lock-in, or retry attempts.
