What Is This Site?
MDRFee.com is an independent, non-commercial informational website about UPI Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) charges in India. It provides a free MDR calculator, plain-language explainers, and a sourced rate database — your calculator inputs stay private and run entirely in your browser. We use basic analytics solely to count visits (see our Privacy Policy).
Why We Built This
When the 0.4% UPI MDR policy was announced in September 2026, there was significant confusion — social media called it a "UPI tax," merchants didn't know if they were exempt, and consumers worried about being charged extra. We built this site to provide a single, factual, well-sourced reference.
Our Editorial Policy
- Primary sources only: Rates are taken from the Ministry of Finance (PIB) release of 15 September 2026 and RBI notices. Anything we could not confirm is marked unverified.
- Unverified rates clearly marked: Any rate without a confirmed primary source is marked "⚠️ Est." with a note explaining the uncertainty.
- No guessing: If a fact cannot be verified, we say so — we never invent numbers.
- Regular updates: Rates are maintained in a single verified database. When official bodies announce changes, we update this site as soon as we can verify an official announcement.
Disclaimer
MDRFee.com is for informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice. MDR rates are subject to change by NPCI, RBI, or the Finance Ministry. Always verify rates with your acquiring bank or payment service provider before making business decisions.
This site is not affiliated with NPCI, RBI, the Government of India, or any payment company.
