Around three-fourths of #India’s more than 60 mn digital-payment-accepting merchants have never recorded a transaction of over ₹2,000 and are insulated from the proposed levy on certain #UPI payments, #NPCI MD & CEO Dilip Asbe said. @AjinkyaJK @subratapanda mybs.in/2g9L6n5

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) transaction charges for UPI, MD and CEO of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), Dilip Asbe, says, "I believe there is huge miscommunication and misinformation in the system. NPCI ecosystem, the government is trying to provide clear information. About 75% of UPI merchants, out of 60 million, have never even seen transactions above 2,000. 80% of the value is going to come back from the credit card-accepting merchants. So if you look at this, 96% of the volume will not touch MDR. 75% of the total UPI value is going to continue to be free. So if you look at this kind of boundary, auto pay has been exempted... It's a pro-expansion policy; it's a pro-poor policy in all aspects we see..."

At the SBI Banking & Economic Conclave 2026, Dilip Asbe, MD & CEO, NPCI, highlighted that the majority of UPI merchants would not be impacted by the proposed MDR framework. “We have about 60 million unique UPI merchants, and 75% of them have not seen a transaction above ₹2,000. Therefore, the majority of merchants will not be impacted by the MDR.” A significant portion of MDR is expected to come from large businesses, most of which already accept card payments and pay MDR. #UPI #SBIConclave @TheOfficialSBI | @dilipasbe | @kantisoumya

At the SBI Banking & Economic Conclave 2026, Dilip Asbe, MD & CEO, NPCI, spoke on “Building a Sustainable and Scalable UPI Infrastructure”, highlighting the opportunity to expand soundbox adoption across the merchant ecosystem. “With ~20 million soundboxes already deployed and over 60 million QR-enabled merchants, there is significant scope to expand soundbox adoption and strengthen digital payment acceptance across the merchant ecosystem.” The 5% allocation from proposed UPI MDR collections towards the Small Merchant Fund can further support digital payment growth among small merchants, including soundbox adoption. #UPI #SBIConclave @TheOfficialSBI | @dilipasbe | @kantisoumya

We will build India! We commit to deploy 10 lakh QR sound boxes. We clearly see an opportunity to deepen the penetration and use cases of UPI. Our commitment to deploy 10L soundboxes reflects our belief that sustainable economics & financial inclusion can reinforce each other

As the ecosystem enters its next phase, continued investment will be critical to deepen adoption and build a sustainable payments infrastructure.
