Scope of UPI to be expanded, by permitting operation of pre-sanctioned credit lines at banks, through UPI

The following piece by Finshots gives us a step by step explanation on how RBI is trying to link credit to UPI

Will it create the same impact to the way we access credit? If yes, Who will be the biggest beneficiaries of this announcement and how big an impact will this have on the Banking and the fintech space?
