The GOI officially refutes claims of proposed GST on UPI transactions over Rs.2,000, confirming no such taxation measure exists. CBDT has eliminated Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on Person-to-Merchant UPI transactions, rendering GST inapplicable. An active Incentive Scheme from FY 2021-22 supports low-value UPI transactions, with escalating allocations (FY2021-22: Rs.1,389 crore; FY2022-23: Rs.2,210 crore; FY2023-24: Rs.3,631 crore). The policy aims to promote digital payments, evidenced by India's leadership in real-time transactions, accounting for 49% globally in 2023 and witnessing UPI transaction values surge from Rs.21.3 lakh crore in FY 2019-20 to Rs.260.56 lakh crore by March 2025.
