Summary
From October 15, a Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) will apply to select UPI person-to-merchant payments exceeding Rs 2,000, but not all such transactions. While mutual funds and capital-market payments will incur a lower MDR, the charge will be borne by merchants, not customers, raising questions about its impact on SIPs and stock investments.
