UGC NET aspirants have warned of a gathering outside the NTA office on August 11 if the provisional answer key is not released by August 10. The delay has intensified anxiety over PhD admissions, Assistant Professor applications and the NTA's lack of communication.

The Finance Minister’s response to my so-called ‘canards’ hinges on 5 dubious claims -
1. Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) applies only to merchants and not to customers
This is misleading. MDR is charged to merchants but it is inevitable that they pass transaction costs on to consumers through higher prices or differential pricing - just as they do with credit and debit card payments. Moreover, "merchants" include medium and small businesses, kirana stores, and even street vendors, the very backbone of UPI adoption.
2. It will support banks and fintechs to invest more in infrastructure, innovation, and security.
UPI was built as a public digital good, and the government has a responsibility to protect it. Zero MDR was critical to its success, enabling small shops and roadside vendors to make and receive payments without transaction charges.
Better alternatives are also on the table. The RBI has the capacity to support the UPI ecosystem without charging merchants or consumers. Why is this option not being considered?
3. The Steering Committee is yet to decide on MDR.
Policymaking is not just for the present but also for the future. The Bill removes the statutory guarantee of zero-MDR under Section 10A. It leaves future charges to government notification. Government assurances or tweets are no substitute for statutory safeguards, especially when earlier assurances on retaining zero-MDR are now being reversed.
4. The timing raises legitimate concerns.
The amendment comes shortly after the U.S. Trade Representative's 2026 National Trade Estimate Report criticised India's UPI and RuPay ecosystem, as well as Brazil's Pix, since they take up market share from Visa and MasterCard. While Brazil has continued to back Pix as a strategic public digital infrastructure, the Modi Government is now weakening statutory protections for UPI.
Google Pay and Walmart-controlled PhonePe together process over 80% of UPI transactions. At a time when foreign-controlled platforms already dominate the ecosystem, India should be strengthening and not weakening its public digital infrastructure.
5. This issue could have been discussed in Parliament.
The Parliament has been dysfunctional in this session entirely due to the Modi Government’s refusal to be accountable to Parliament. The Opposition’s demand for a statement by the Home Minister on the police brutality on students on June 20th has not been heeded. Attending Parliament and answering questions is not optional, it is part of a minister's constitutional responsibility. It is the Modi Government’s evasion of responsibility which has created this situation of chaos in the House and it is the Modi Government that exploited it to pass this Bill through a voice vote within minutes of its introduction in the Lok Sabha.
@NTA_Exams LOL. I've made countless calls, sent multiple emails & even visited the NTA Headquarters 3 times just to get my well-earned UGC NET June 2024 certificate. It's really unfortunate that candidates have to struggle so much NTA 💩 agency..

After making LTCG from Nil to 12.5%
After making STCG from 15% to 20%
After making STT from 0.01 % to 0.05%
After removing indexation on debt funds and taxing at slab rate
After introducing tax on SGB in secondary market from Nil to 12.5%
After making so many policy blunders, rupees depreciation and not caring about FII exit, it's so nice of Finance minister to say she is open for public feedback and suggestions.
You never needed any public suggestion, it's your arrogance that has put economy in such a big mess. There is no rocket science in knowing that FII would anyday invest in safe US economy at 5% yields because to beat that 5% they've to earn atleast 12-15% in India if you consider rupees depreciation and tax.
