Supreme Court Directs Centre to Explain UPI Transaction Charges Decision

The Supreme Court has sought an explanation from the Centre regarding its decision to impose charges on UPI transactions. The court refused to grant immediate relief on the matter, signalling it intends to examine the government's reasoning before deciding on further action.

The development comes as a response to petitions challenging the proposed levies on digital payment systems. The court's intervention highlights ongoing scrutiny of policies affecting India's widely-used digital payment infrastructure.
