@axl and @okaxis handles will not be considered existing UPI IDs for Turbo UPI. Users must have an @axisbank handle to reuse it on Turbo UPI. If required, a new UPI ID will be automatically created in the one-time onboarding process.
In this case, Axis bank, the acquirer bank, has over 10-12 million unique customer UPI IDs. End users with an existing @axisbank UPI ID will experience a shorter and quicker onboarding process (shorter by 1 step).
