Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Modi's government of introducing charges on UPI transactions above Rs 2,000, which could weaken the zero-MDR policy and increase costs for merchants and customers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 4 sources have reported it between 15 Sep 2026 and 16 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Introducing MDR charges on UPI payments above Rs 2,000 opens a new cost line for merchants that could shift pricing strategies and user adoption. You need to reassess your pricing or customer outreach if you rely on Indian digital payments.
