Madhya Pradesh traders, retailers observe ‘No UPI Day’, seek rollback of MDR charges
In Madhya Pradesh, traders and retailers in Bhopal and Indore have declared a 'No UPI Day' to protest rising mobile‑payment fees. Shop owners covered QR stickers and soundboxes with cloth, urging customers to use cash. The move follows a demand that the government reverse the increased merchant discount rates imposed on digital transactions by 2024.
