🇮🇳 The bigger picture
UPI is now deeply embedded in India’s digital economy. With transaction volumes continuing to expand, any change in the economics of merchant payments could have implications across:

“Who will ultimately bear the cost of UPI transactions, and for which categories?”
We will need to watch the final regulatory implementation and official circulars carefully before drawing conclusions.
Save this post 📌 and share it with a business owner who accepts UPI payments.
