The Union Finance Ministry has rejected allegations made by opposition parties, including the Congress, claiming foreign influence behind the decision to impose a 0.4% merchant discount rate on person-to-merchant UPI transactions above ₹2,000. Clarifying through a statement on X, the ministry stated that India's digital payment policy decisions are taken independently to establish an inclusive and self-sustaining ecosystem. The clarification follows accusations from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleging government manipulation under United States pressure.
