‘UPI Is NOT Free Anymore’: CJP Criticises New UPI Rules

CJP has criticized the new UPI rules, stating that UPI is no longer free. This has sparked a political battle, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi demanding a rollback of the charges. However, the government refuses to reverse the decision, maintaining there is no question of a rollback. The debate centers on the UPI Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) framework and its impact on merchants and businesses, questioning whether India can afford to keep UPI payments free.
