UPI Payments Above Rs 2,000 May Soon Attract Charges
The Government has proposed changes to India’s payment laws. According to official estimates, the Rs 2,000 limit will affect only about 5 percent of all UPI transactions. These transactions account for nearly 65 percent of the total transaction value.
 
Everyday purchases such as milk, vegetables, groceries, or auto and taxi fares will remain unaffected.
 
The proposal, introduced as part of amendments to the Payment and Settlement Systems Act by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, proposed removing the existing prohibition on banks and payment service providers from levying MDR on electronic payment modes.
 
It is worth noting that if the proposal is implemented, ordinary users will not be affected, but large merchants will no longer enjoy free UPI payments.
