India's Reserve Bank has banned banks from levying charges on Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions up to 2000 rupees to promote digital payments and financial inclusion.

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 just got a new market incentive as UPI transactions under 2000 rupees can no longer carry bank fees. This lowers the barrier for mobile payment startups and apps integrating UPI to onboard more users in India.
