UPI is not a wallet balance. A successful UPI payment debits one bank account and credits another. If the payee's bank is slow to confirm, the amount can sit as a processing debit and reverse automatically.
You can link more than one bank account to one app. Each bank can set its own UPI PIN. The PIN is not your debit-card PIN unless you chose the same number.
