A petition has been filed seeking judicial review of charges linked to the country’s widely used digital payments system, NDTV reports.
The case could affect how payment providers, banks and merchants share the costs of processing UPI transactions.
UPI, or Unified Payments Interface, has become central to India’s cashless economy, enabling instant bank-to-bank transfers through mobile apps.
The petition comes as financial institutions and technology companies continue to debate how the system should be funded while keeping payments affordable for consumers.
Any ruling or direction from the court could influence government policy, payment industry practices and the future pricing of digital transactions.
The filing does not indicate that the Supreme Court has accepted the challenge or issued a ruling. Further proceedings are expected to clarify the legal grounds of the petition and the specific fee structure under dispute.
