Congress criticizes UPI notification, warns of transaction fees
The Congress party has raised concerns over a recent notification regarding the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). The party alleges that this notification could pave the way for the imposition of transaction fees on UPI payments. Congress leaders have publicly criticized the government, stating that the stage is being set for levying such fees. The party's stance suggests a potential move towards monetizing digital payment services, which they argue could impact users.
