NPCI announced on Tuesday that the government will implement a new system of Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) for selected UPI transactions. Under the new rule, from October 15, MDR up to a maximum of 0.4% will be levied on some person-to-merchant (P2M) UPI payments of more than ₹2,000. However, the same rate will not be applicable to all transactions. Lower rates will be kept for some categories, and small businesses will also get an exemption. The biggest thing for common UPI users is that MDR will be zero on P2M transactions up to ₹2,000.
