Govt Charging Citizens For Their Own Money: CJP Criticises UPI Fee

The Cockroach Janta Party criticised new UPI rules imposing a 0.4% fee on merchant payments above Rs 2,000 from October 15, saying "UPI is NOT free anymore" and accusing the government of finding new ways to make citizens pay for their own money. The finance ministry denied foreign influence; Rahul Gandhi and a Supreme Court PIL also challenged the move.
