New Rules on NPCI on UPI Payment

NPCI said today that the old system on payment from UPI remains as it is, there is no change in this payment system. There is still no charge on payments up to ₹ 2000. That is, there is no charge on the payment made from the bank account to any other bank account. But the merchant will have to pay a charge on UPI payments made through pre-paid wallets. This will not affect the customer as the number of such transactions is less than 1%. NPCI said that UPI is free, fast, secure and seamless. Every month, 8 billion transactions are processed for customers and merchants through bank accounts, which are free.
