India's Payment and Settlement Act now prohibits banks from imposing charges on Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions and RuPay debit card payments up to 2,000 rupees, promoting zero-cost digital transactions within this limit.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 5 sources have reported it between 14 Sep 2026 and 15 Sep 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You no longer need to factor charges on small UPI payments into your India market strategy. This opens a direct route to compete in retail payments below 2,000 rupees with zero fees blocking customer adoption.
