#UPI remains free for the public and protected for small traders
Clarification on Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on select UPI (P2M) transactions The first and most important fact is this: the general public will not pay any UPI charge.
UPI will continue to remain free for consumers. There is no fee for sending or receiving money, scanning a QR code, paying at a shop, or using any UPI app. UPI apps cannot levy a platform fee. Merchants cannot pass MDR to customers. The listed price remains the price paid by the buyer.
What stays completely free
• Person-to-Person (P2P) transfers — to family, friends, staff or one’s own accounts — remain free, of any amount.
• Payments to merchants up to ₹2,000 remain free for all merchants.
• Small merchants under the P2PM (Person-to-Person-Merchant) framework, receiving up to ₹1 lakh a month through UPI QR into their own accounts, continue with zero MDR. A single payment above ₹2,000 does not attract MDR if the merchant is in this exempt category.
• There is no monthly cap on the number of free UPI transactions for consumers.
• Recurring UPI Mandates / AutoPay for utilities, subscriptions and similar standing instructions do not carry the prescribed MDR.
• GST registration is not required for a small merchant to get zero-MDR protection.
• Existing QR codes and soundboxes need not be replaced.
Official communication from the Ministry of Finance confirms that Person-to-Person transactions stay free always; payments to merchants up to ₹2,000 stay free for all merchants; the zero-MDR framework for small merchants continues; and about 96% of P2M transactions remain unaffected. MDR applies only to specified merchant transactions above ₹2,000.
What changes — and only for larger commercial acceptance
The framework takes effect from 15 October 2026.
For larger P2M merchants:
• MDR of 0.4% applies only on eligible UPI P2M transactions above ₹2,000.
• For transactions of ₹75,000 and above, MDR is capped at ₹300 per transaction.
• For specified categories such as railways, telecom, insurance, fuel and certain other industry-programmemerchants, a flat ₹5 applies on transactions above ₹2,000, instead of 0.4%.
• Capital-market payments (mutual funds, securities, brokers and dealers) attract a separate concessional rate of 0.02%, capped at ₹300.@HMOIndia @nsitharamanoffc @PiyushGoyal @CimGOI @DPIITGoI @SunilSinghiIND @LG_ANI_DrDinesh @MediaRN_ANI

Wonderful to speak with my dear friend President Trump today. Delighted that Made in India products will now have a reduced tariff of 18%. Big thanks to President Trump on behalf of the 1.4 billion people of India for this wonderful announcement.

When two large economies and the world’s largest democracies work together, it benefits our people and unlocks immense opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation.

President Trump’s leadership is vital for global peace, stability, and prosperity. India fully supports his efforts for peace.

I look forward to working closely with him to take our partnership to unprecedented heights.
