To create a new Google Pay account, you'll need a mobile number, a bank account linked to that number, and a credit or debit card. You can download the Google Pay app from the Play Store and select your preferred language.

You'll then need to enter your mobile phone number, which is registered with the bank account you'll be linking to Google Pay. Tap on the "Next" button and the app will automatically detect and show your email id.

You'll receive a one-time password (OTP) on the phone number you entered, which you'll need to enter to complete the verification process of your phone number. This is a crucial step to ensure your account is secure.

To add a bank account, select your bank and click on "Continue". Google Pay will then automatically find the bank account associated with your phone number and send an SMS for verification.

Once verified, you'll need to set up a UPI PIN, which you'll need to enter every time before making a transaction. Make sure you don't share this PIN with anyone else to keep your account secure.

To complete the setup process, you'll need to choose between "Screen Lock" or "Use Google Pin" and set up your Google screen lock or pin.
