BusinessRBI Governor Says Small UPI Fee Won't Impact Transactions
Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra stated that a small 0.4% Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on certain high-value UPI transactions is unlikely to significantly reduce transaction volumes. This fee marks a shift from UPI's zero-MDR policy but aims to sustain the payment ecosystem while maintaining low user charges. UPI remains India's leading digital payment platform with billions of monthly transactions.
