🔰 UPI Remains Free for Consumers
UPI continues to be free for customers. Sending money to friends, paying at shops, or scanning a QR code — all remain without charges.
Key Facts:
✅ No charges on P2P: Person-to-Person transfers are always free, regardless of amount.
✅ Small merchants protected: Vendors earning up to ₹1 lakh per month via UPI QR codes continue to enjoy zero charges.
✅ Everyday payments safe: Over 95% of merchant payments are below ₹2,000 — these remain free.
✅ Nominal MDR above ₹2,000: Only larger merchant transactions above ₹2,000 attract a small fee (0.4%) to be borne by merchants, far lower than credit card charges or other network charges.
✅ Essential services capped: Railways, fuel, telecom, bill payments, insurance, etc have a flat fee of ₹5 per transaction above ₹2,000.
✅ Special low rates: Mutual fund and securities payments attract just 0.02%, capped at ₹300.
Safeguards for Consumers
✅Banks instructed: Merchants cannot pass MDR costs to customers.
✅No hidden fees: UPI apps cannot levy platform charges.
Debunking the “External Pressure” Myth:
✅ Some claims suggest the change is due to foreign influence. This is false. India’s UPI policy decisions are made independently, with the clear goal of building a self-sustaining, inclusive, and affordable digital payments ecosystem.
Why This Matters:
Since its launch in 2016, UPI has grown into the world’s largest real-time interoperable payment system — entirely on India’s own terms. UPI processed 24.5 billion transactions in August 2026 alone. To keep this system self-sustainable, secure and innovative, a small fee on high-value merchant transactions helps fund:
☑️Better infrastructure and cybersecurity
☑️Support for small merchants in Tier III–VI towns and rural areas
☑️Awareness and incentives to expand UPI adoption
The new framework ensures resources from higher-value merchant transactions are reinvested to support small businesses and strengthen digital payments across the country.

Dhiraj Bommadevara became the first Indian man to win the Recurve title at the Archery World Cup Final.
But maybe there’s an even bigger story here.
India finished ahead of Korea with six golds at the last Asian Championships. This year our archers have repeatedly beaten the traditional powerhouses, Korea and China, at World Cup events.
Are we on the cusp of a golden era for Indian archery?
It certainly looks like we have it in our ‘sights.’
🇮🇳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

One way to increase the ridership of metro line 3 is to extend the Aarey section to Kanjurmarg via IIT bombay connecting it to Line 4 and local train station at Kanjurmarg or Bhandup. With this extension passenger’s travelling to BKC, Lower Parel, Airport, Andheri east business hubs, Dadar West or even South Mumbai could take metro from Kanjurmarg itself. This potentially can reduce burden on Line 1, Local Train stations like Ghatkopar-Kurla-Dadar-Parel, EEW with Ghodbunder residents getting direct access western Business hubs, BKC traffic. This will only help of directly integrated above Kanjurmarg local train stations. Such integration are key of we truly want to decongest Mumbai.
And if your argument is going to be “but there is line 6” congratulations for not understanding transport planning and travel behaviour of everyday Mumbaikars. Please keep your thoughts to yourself.
