FAQ :
The scheme is designed to promote low-value Person-to-Merchant (P2M) BHIM-UPI transactions, particularly for small merchants, with an incentive of 0.15% on transactions up to £2,000.
The estimated outlay for the incentive scheme is £1,500 crore.
The incentive of 0.15% is specifically for small merchants on UPI (P2M) transactions up to £2,000. Large merchants do not receive incentives for transactions over £2,000.
Benefits include convenient and secure digital payments for citizens, enabling small merchants to accept UPI at no additional cost, supporting a less-cash economy, and improving cash flow for businesses.
To receive the full incentive, acquiring banks must maintain technical decline rates below 0.75% and system uptime greater than 99.5%.
The scheme will be implemented from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025.
