A Knock on the Door

By imposing a 'Merchant Discount Rate' (MDR), or simply put, a fee on UPI transactions (albeit not across the board), the Central Government has set a 'digital trap' for Indians, whether they are merchants or consumers. First came demonetization; then the UPI system was introduced with great fanfare to showcase the push for digital transactions. They trumpeted its success, basked in self-praise, got people habituated to it, and then suddenly announced that fees would apply to these transactions. In short, they lulled citizens into a false sense of security and quietly ensnared them in a 'digital trap.' For years, I have been warning people not to be complacent or assume that everything is running smoothly. This government is bound to come knocking at your door eventually, and that process has already begun.

The government introduced the UPI system for digital transactions. It sought a positive response, and it got one. Which is fine. But if the intention behind introducing this digital payment system was truly to simplify financial exchanges, why weren't provisions made right from the investment stage to ensure its sustainability without hitting the common man's pocket? Such payment systems require funds for long-term maintenance and cybersecurity; why wasn't a permanent budgetary provision made for this?

Will an MDR of 0.4% apply to purchases exceeding ₹2,000? The government claims that merchants should bear this burden, but what guarantee is there that merchants will absorb the cost instead of passing it on to the customers? Does the government have any mechanism to monitor this? The answer is a resounding 'no.'

The current Finance Minister would likely levy 18% GST on the air that we breath if it were physically possible; since it isn't, she has imposed GST on the MDR (Merchant Discount Rate) instead. In short, dip into citizens' pockets wherever possible. Prime Minister Modi used to travel abroad promoting UPI and patting himself on the back; when he visits foreign countries next, will he laugh aloud and explain how he imposed MDR and GST?

The Congress party has alleged that this move was made under pressure from the US government. I do not know about that. However, can the central government confidently state whom they consulted before this decision, or deny that foreign card companies and global payment systems were uneasy about the situation? The answer is no. There was likely pressure from somewhere, and the government seized the opportunity to fill its own coffers.

The issue isn't about forty paise or forty rupees; it is about the government's intentions. Whether it was demonetization or digital payments, the government's intentions were never transparent. The question of who would bear the cost of operating UPI should have been addressed right when the system was being established - a step that was either overlooked or deliberately avoided. The Finance Ministry had explicitly stated this in 2022. However, as I mentioned, the plan to dip into your pockets had already been fixed. The government should not resort to hollow arguments about transactions between individuals being exempt. You have set a digital trap, and every Indian is now caught in it.

The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena registers its protest against this MDR (Merchant Discount Rate). Merchants should vehemently oppose paying these charges.

(I am deliberately attaching a screenshot of the tweet from August 21, 2022, in which the government announced that there would be no charges on UPI transactions.)

It was such a peaceful movement, feel so sad that it had to take a violent turn. My heart goes out to the students and their families who were hurt. Paper leak is a very serious issue, and I am glad to know n see that the kids of our country have come together for a better educational system, and their parents supported them.

I truly appreciate the stand they have taken, showing dedication, sincerity, and keenness to study hard n make their future and a greater, educated India. This andolan, this protest, is the right way to go abt it, n the students have done this peacefully. So courageous and brave. Driven and motivated towards education, this generation will make India proud.

This issue is between the students and the educational system, it should not be hijacked politically, the credit should only go to the students of our country, and I am sure the government will also give them all the support n make it a stronger educational system. It’s a win-win situation. Hoping n praying for a positive decision. God bless all of you who wanna be educated.

Education should be the next trend and fashion, and should get trendier n more fashionable yr by yr, itna k bahar se log come to India to study and India becomes an educational hub.

SMA Type-1 is a rare and devastating genetic condition that weakens a child’s muscles and slowly takes away the ability to move, breathe and live normally. Yet little Punarvika from Kurnool, AP, is a true braveheart - fighting this battle with extraordinary courage.

Her life-changing injection costs a staggering ₹16 cr. It is heartening to see Punarvika's story moving thousands of generous people who have come forward to contribute towards saving the child's life. ₹10 cr has already been raised. I salute every individual who has contributed.

Now it is my turn to ensure Punarvika receives the balance ₹6 cr for the life-saving treatment she deserves. @officeofNL, please coordinate. I request all to provide support to fund this brave child of AP.
