Seems the Centre is misjudging the public mood right now. Why else introduce a fee on UPI and make things worse for your own standing?
Sure, running UPI costs money, no one expects it to be entirely free. But the cash-heavy system we had before cost significantly more. In reality, UPI saves the govt far more money than it takes to maintain.
Think of it like this: You used to pay ₹1,500 a month to ride a crowded bus. Then you switched to the metro, which costs only ₹800 a month. Instead of being happy that you're saving ₹700 every month and getting a better ride, you start complaining about spending ₹800. That’s exactly what’s happening here. The govt is complaining about the visible maintenance cost of UPI while completely ignoring the massive savings and value it has gained.
By shifting millions of transactions online, UPI reduced tax evasion, boosted compliance, and expanded the formal economy. It slashed cash-handling costs like printing, transport, and security, while ensuring cleaner, leak-proof welfare payouts. Its digital trail suppresses black money and fraud.
So why ruin one of the most successful systems India has ever built? The claim that merchants will absorb the cost instead of consumers is absurd. There isn't a single fee or tax levied on businesses in India that doesn't ultimately get passed down to the buyer. A 0.4% fee, even capped at ₹300 per transaction, will simply be tacked onto consumer bills, driving people right back to using cash.
Applying charges on UPI payments will only benefit 3 entities from USA -
1) VISA
2) MasterCard
3) Apple Pay (getting launched in October)
Looks like some babus and netas have been co-opted. The amount of leverage USA has on India is insane.
Following US Ambassador Sergio Gor’s meeting with Foreign Secy Vikram Misri and US Secy of State, Marc Rubio, NIA drops terror charges against Matthew Van Dyke, U.S citizen who was held here on terror charges along with 6 Ukrainians for illegally crossing over to Myanmar to train armed ethnic groups in weapon handling and drone warfare.

More than 1000 state govt employees attended Muharram procession and Eid Milad rallies... NO ONE suspended.
2 Karnataka state govt employee attended RSS program, both got suspended.
This is called Secularism.
विवाद ये कतई नहीं है कि महिला क्या पहनें... दिक्कत दोगलेपन से है और हिंदू त्योहारों पर लोगों को उनकी परंपराओं से प्रभावित करने वाले हथकंडों से है।
क्योंकि ऐसा नहीं है कि कृति सेनन ने कोई पहली बार कुछ ऐसा पहना है और विवाद हो गया।
कब क्या पहनना चाहिए इसका एक सलीका होता है। उदाहरण के लिए गुरुद्वारे में जाने से सिर ढंकने की परंपरा है, मंदिर में आप भरे-पूरे कपड़े पहनते हैं। बहुत से मंदिरों में पुरुषों के हॉफपैंट पहनने तक पर रोक है, लेकिन वहां तो कोई कपड़ा पहनने की आजादी का तबला नही बजा रहा है।
इसलिए विक्टिम कार्ड खेलने की जगह लोकतांत्रिक देश में हिंदुओं की आस्था पर कुठाराघात करना बंद करें। हिंदू सहनशील है इसका यह अर्थ नहीं है कि आप बार-बार उसके संयम की परीक्षा लेते रहें।
GIVA ने ये एड हटा दिया है, इस हेतु धन्यवाद।
Brands these days
> Mock Hindu religion and festivals.
> Get free publicity.
> Apologise.
> Everyone forgets
But not this time.
We must boycott them so that all brands learn a lesson.
Fluid Dynamics hum sharminda hai, tere qaatil jinda hai.
Madam, he is absolutely right.
A ceiling or table fan does not create air. It uses rotating blades to accelerate and circulate the surrounding air, producing airflow.
Dear Physics, I know you are hurt, but she has not studied Motion, Force and Pressure in class 8th, only Pappu dynamics.
Rahul Gandhi talks about hindu women empowerment while he and his party congress and the communists support hijab, naqab, burqa and have no problem with talaq and halala for muslim women.
Typical secular liberal progressive feminist!🤲
