On September 28, 2026, the Supreme Court of India questioned the Centre regarding the Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) for UPI transactions exceeding ₹2,000. The court declined to stay the MDR rollout and requested responses from the Centre, RBI, and NPCI.
This decision impacts digital payment providers and consumers using UPI for higher-value transactions.
Read from 3 reports across 3 independent newsrooms. Model gpt-4o-mini, 26d ago.
Importance weights independent corroboration far above article count. A wire story carried by fifty outlets is one story; four separate newsrooms each choosing to report something is a development.
The full evidence, oldest first. How each one joined is shown, so a wrong grouping is diagnosable rather than merely present.
