UPI transactions are real-time transactions between two bank accounts, whereas PPI transactions involve prepaid payment instruments like mobile wallets, gift cards, and other virtual payment modes. Only the UPI transactions that are above Rs 2000 made to a merchant through PPI wallets while shopping, dining, etc will have an extra charge at the merchant’s end.” How PPI is different from UPI payments?

Many have a common question that will it impact people using payment options like GPay, Paytm and PhonePe? Ameet Venkeshwar further said, “it will not impact customers.

The extra charge will be borne at the merchant’s end," Venkeshwar said. This only applies to UPI transactions made to a merchant. All bank-to-bank transactions will still remain free of any charges.
