There has been a lot of confusion around the charges that will be levied on #UPI payments. 🧐
Let us clear the air.
Let's consider these 3 scenarios:
Scenario 1: Me to my friend (P2P)
UPI payment of any amount through bank account / PPI wallet*: No charges for me and my friend
Scenario 2: Me to merchant / shop keeper (P2M)
UPI payment of any amount through bank account: No charge to me and shopkeeper
Scenario 3: Me to merchant / shop keeper (P2M)
UPI payment above INR 2,000 through PPI wallet: No charge to me but up-to 1.1% charge to the merchant / shopkeeper.
➡️ Summarising the same:
NPCI has clarified that customers do NOT have to pay any charge in any case.
It is the merchant who will be levied a charge up-to 1.1% of transaction value (on transactions over INR 2,000, for using the infrastructure of the wallet issuing company) (Ex: Paytm, Phonepe)
It is important to note that charge will be levied to merchant only on interoperable** PPI wallet transactions and not on bank-to-bank transactions via UPI
Basically, the ecosystem needs revenue to be running and it is very similar to the credit card ecosystem, where the merchant is levied a charge (~2%) on a payment using a credit card and the participants in the transaction viz. the paying and the receiving banks and the credit card issuing company gets revenue for providing their services.
* Examples of PPI (Prepaid Payment Instruments) can be gift cards, online wallets etc.
** Interoperable PPI wallet means wallet where users can seamlessly transfer funds from one wallet to another (of another issuer) and from their wallets to bank accounts through the UPI platform.
