Business associations plan No UPI Day on October 2 against new MDR levy

CorroboratedIndependently reported by at least two distinct newsrooms in our registry.

Cross-source confidence: 90% — how consistently independent sources report the same core facts, scored deterministically.

Business groups like FICCI and NASSCOM have called for a No UPI Day on October 2, urging merchants and users to skip digital payments to protest the Reserve Bank’s new merchant discount rate. The move targets a 0.2% increase in MDR for small businesses, raising costs from 0.3% to 0.5% on UPI transactions. The protest aims to pressure regulators over rising digital payment fees, though Finance Ministry pre-budget talks begin later that month.
