For 6 years, a line in Indian law said nobody could charge you for a UPI payment.

On Thursday the Lok Sabha voted to delete that line.

There was no discussion. It went through on a voice vote while the House was in protest over something else.

The line is Section 10A of the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007. It barred banks and payment system providers from charging, directly or indirectly, on the electronic payment modes listed in the tax law.

The amendment does not impose a fee on UPI.

It deletes the reference to the tax law and replaces it with a line saying the central government may notify which payment modes stay free.

That is the whole event. Not a new charge. A new pen.

Removing the free guarantee used to require a vote in both Houses.

Narrowing it now requires a notification signed by the executive.

Same outcome available, one tenth the friction, and no debate on the record

Its just a matter of time before it's passed in Rajya Sabha too. #Economy #Policy
