'Main Payment Nahi Karega': UPI Charges For Over ₹2000 Transaction Trigger Meme Fest

“Bhaiya, QR code hai kya?” Honestly, we all can relate to this line. At some point in our day, most of us use the digital mode of payment. It won’t be wrong to say that the transactions done by Unified Payment Interface (UPI) have made our life way more convenient. From tea vendors to luxury restaurants, everyone seems to prefer to make a cashless mode of payment. But little did we know, it would someday become a chargeable mode of payment. The method has been infused into our day-to-day life to such great extents that going back to cash payments appears nearly impossible. From uber rides, and electricity bills to phone recharges, people have been extensively using this payment mode. For those unaware, from April 1, it is suggested that a 1.1% charge will be on merchant UPI payments above ₹2000. While a number of online payment platforms are issuing clarifications, the news was enough to trigger a meme fest on Twitter.

A person has referred to the epic scene from Rajkumar Hirani’s film 3 Idiots when Chatur Ramalingam was preparing his speech for a college event.

A user shared how people would clean their devices after the UPI changes come into effect.

“Oye chuna laga dia” was the sentiment on social media.

In the middle of this, a user has shared the perfect UPI users vs Cash users expression.

Of course, there was a Pusha meme too. It featured Allu Arjun’s signature move in the film. The text read, “ Main UPI payment nahi karega.”

A user said that now tea sellers will start accepting crypto currency.

Meanwhile, the National Payment Corporation of India has clarified that the change doesn’t include any extra charge for regular UPI users. “UPI is free, fast, secure and seamless. Every month, over 8 billion transactions are processed free for customers and merchants using bank-accounts," said the body that runs and manages UPI transactions.
