While you're right in pointing out that UPI was built against VISA and MasterCard and it is an innovative solution, I would not brand it as a brilliant API.
Recurring charges are currently not supported, we've seen frauds to the tune of 40cr happen already, "text message payments" is not part of the specification. It is a bank transfer method, that happens to run on mobile phones. It uses AES-256 with a static IV, and then calls it a hmac (common library spec).
Also, this is not the Government, but NPCI (which is a private entity held by all major banks in India).
Disclaimer: I work for a payments company in India.
