Using UPI to fund a forex account
UPI is among the methods India traders use to move money in INR. To fund a broker, you open the cashier, choose UPI, and authorise the transfer; the broker converts it to your account currency (often USD) at its rate. Withdrawals usually return to the same method. Confirm the broker lists UPI, and check any conversion or processing fees before you deposit.
