Claim: Charge free payments on UPI ended, and now UPI transactions will be charged.
Fact-check: RBI has not released any official order on charges related to the UPI payments - FACTLY
Verdict: in its recent discussion paper on charges in payment systems, rbi asked for feedback on whether upi payments should be charged. the ministry of finance later clarified that there is no consideration in govt to levy any charges for upi services. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
