Leading Unified Payments Interface (UPI) application Google Pay has been facing a lot of flak on Twitter. Google Pay or Gpay is a mobile payment service developed by Google to power in-app, online, and in-person contactless purchases on mobile devices, enabling users to make payments with Android phones, or tablets. It is widely used in India on daily basis. In its initial days, Google Pay amped up its installation and downloads by offering multiple scratch cards which actually gave its users financial benefits from time to time. Now, the question arises, why #Gpay is trending on Twitter and why netizens have been slamming its services?

The answer lies in the change of approach of Google Pay. As mentioned above, #Gpay used to give financial benefits including cash transfers directly into its user's account. However, in the past few months, Gpay has gone on a totally different path as it has introduced scratch cards but giving benefits such as discounts which according to netizens hardly used by them.
