Born blind due to damage to her optic nerves, Vaikom Vijayalakshmi never saw the stage—but she made the world stop and listen. :heart: Taught by her musician father, she mastered over 100 ragas simply by listening and gave her first stage performance at just six years old. Years later, after choosing music over societal expectations, she went on to win the National Award for Best Female Playback Singer. Her journey is a powerful reminder that determination can turn every obstacle into a melody. @vaikomvijayalakshmi #InspiringStories #NationalFilmAward #IndianMusic #WomenInspiringWomen [Born Blind Singer Success Story, Vaikom Vijayalakshmi National Award, Inspirational Indian Playback Singer, Visually Impaired Musician India, Woman Who Chose Music Over Marriage, 72nd National Films Award 2026]

🔰 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.
