India consults banks, payment firms on fees for large UPI payments, sources say
India’s payments authority is engaging with financial institutions to discuss potential transaction charges. Recent legislation permits fees on Unified Payments Interface transactions that exceed two thousand rupees, aiming to create additional revenue opportunities for banks and payment service providers. Authorities are contemplating a 0.4% fee, with specifics on the distribution still under review. Person-to-merchant payments may face charges, while peer-to-peer transfers are expected to remain free of costs.
