UPI Transaction Charges Under Discussion Amidst Reports
Reports indicate potential charges on UPI transactions exceeding ₹2,000. One outlet suggests a 0.4% charge, capped at ₹300, for transactions above this threshold, specifically mentioning transfers to friends and family. The other outlet frames this as UPI potentially no longer being free, highlighting a 'game' around charges for transactions over ₹2,000. Specific details on the implementation or official confirmation of these charges are not provided in the coverage.
