The Indian Ministry of Finance has issued a statutory notification confirming that transactions up to Rs 2,000 via UPI and RuPay debit cards will remain free of any direct or indirect charges, barring banks and payment providers from levying fees on these small digital payments.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The fee exemption on small digital transactions in India clears the way for wider consumer adoption and lowers merchant costs. You can now scale payment offerings knowing your users face no fees up to Rs 2,000, which removes a key barrier to digital payment acceptance.
