India's new MDR framework introduces a 0.02% charge capped at ₹300 on UPI transactions for capital-market payments starting 15 October, prompting brokerages to consider new fees and mandates to protect margins despite NPCI's advice against passing charges to consumers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 45 sources have reported it between 19 Jul 2026 and 15 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face an imminent margin squeeze from new UPI MDR charges that your consumers can't shoulder directly. Adjust your pricing and transaction models now to safeguard revenue before the framework activates on 15 October.
