The NPCI is aimed at increasing revenue for banks and payment service providers, who have been struggling with the high cost of UPI transactions. The pricing will be reviewed by September 30, 2023.
UPI is currently the most preferred and the most used payment method in India that allows users to transfer money between bank accounts instantly using their mobile phones. On the other hand, PPIs are digital wallets that allow users to store money and make payments.
What is the Meaning of Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPIs)?
PPI stands for Prepaid Payment Instruments. There are a couple of PPIs in India for example Paytm, PhonePe, and Google Pay.
Interchange fees (Transaction Fees) is a fee that is charged by one bank to another bank for processing a transaction. In the case of UPI transactions, the interchange fee is paid by the bank of the merchant (the person or business receiving the payment) to the bank of the payer (the person making the payment).
Currently, most UPI transactions are for smaller amounts. The NPCI believes that providers encourage users to promote UPI transactions for higher amounts, the average transaction value of UPI transactions can be increased, and the overall cost of payment systems in India can be reduced.
So, the users will not bear any fees or surcharge on UPI Payment. The new fee on UPI payment will only be applicable to merchants who accept payments over Rs 2,000 using prepaid payment instruments (PPIs) such as mobile wallets. Individual users making personal transactions using UPI will not be charged any additional fees.
