Covers UPI, deposits, KYC and payment safety

Farhan Qureshi

Payments Expert, Cricketin

Portrait is a line drawing, not a photograph.

## About Farhan

Farhan works the money side: how a UPI payment is actually routed, what a KYC check asks for and why, and what a reader can do when a payment is frozen or reversed. Ten years in payments operations and fraud in Hyderabad.

These pages describe process and risk. Where a rule is quoted the source is linked — RBI, NPCI or the platform's own terms — and Rajeev Sathe reads the page back before it goes out.

## What this role covers

- UPI and deposit routes
- KYC and identity checks
- Frozen payments, chargebacks and disputes
- Data privacy on gaming apps
- Spotting a fake app or a sideloaded APK

### Where the role stops

Farhan does not act for any bank or platform and cannot recover money for a reader. The pages describe the process and the escalation route.

## How a page with this name on it is checked

Farhan does not publish alone. Every page is read back by a second person before it goes out, and the byline names both. The standard both work to is in our [editorial policy](/en/editorial-policy).

Sources are linked in the page itself, primary text first. Where something cannot be checked yet, the page says so instead of guessing. Anything found wrong after publication is logged on the [corrections page](/en/corrections) with the date and what changed.

## Contact and conflicts

Questions about a page, a source or a correction go to the editorial desk through our [contact page](/en/contact). Name the page and the exact claim; a byline concern is handled the same way as a factual one.

Promotions do not decide what a page says: the facts are signed off by the editor, and any conflict of interest is declared before work on a page starts.
