A political row has erupted over the proposed UPI Bill after Congress leader Jairam Ramesh alleged that the Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) would ultimately burden consumers. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman rejected the claim, saying the proposed legal framework does not impose charges on consumers and aims to strengthen the digital payments ecosystem. The BJP also defended the move, calling the debate misleading. #upi #mdr #payments #fintech #congress #bjp #parliament #economy #timesnow #englishnews
