Kya Rs 2,000 se zyada UPI payment par GST lagega? Sarkar ne kiya saaf inkaar|
Social media aur kuch news reports mein ye baat viral ho rahi hai ki UPI transactions jo Rs 2,000 se zyada hain, un par GST lag sakta hai. but sarkar ne 18 April ko is news par kaha hai ki “Ye khabar jhooti, galat aur bina kisi basis ka hai.”
Government ne kya kaha?
Finance Minister ne kaha hai ki abhi tak koi aisa proposal sarkar ke saamne nahi aaya hai. UPI par abi koi GST nahi lagta, kyunki in pe MDR (Marchant Discount Rate) bhi nahi lagta. January 2020 mein hi sarkar ne UPI ke P2M (Person to Marchant ) transactions par MDR hata diya tha. Toh MDR nahi hai toh us par GST nahi lagta.
MDR aur GST ka Kya connection hai?
MDR ek chhoti si processing fee hoti hai jo merchant se li jaati hai digital payments ke liye. Jab yeh fee boti thi, tab uspe GST lagta tha. But ab
No MDR on UPI P2M payments
So, No GST too
Sarkar ka focus hai digital payment ko promote karna
FY 2021-22 mein sarkar ne Incentive Scheme bhi launch kiya tha, jiska mein goal tha UPI payments ko popular banana, khaskar small merchants ke beech.
Incentives ka data kuch aisa tha:
FY 2021-22 – Rs 1,389 crore
FY 2022-23 – Rs 2,210 crore
FY 2023-24 – Rs 3,631 crore
Aur sarkar ne dikhaya hai ki UPI growth ko who strongly support karte hain.
UPI growth ki Kahaani – World Leader ban gaya India
FY 2019-20 mein UPI ka total value Rs 21.3 lakh crore tha.
FY 2024-25 mein yeh badh kar Rs 260.56 crore ho gaya tha.
Only P2M transactions ki value bhi Rs 59.3 lakh crore tak pahuch chuki hai. aur ACI Worldwide Report 2024 ke hisaab se, India ne oore duniya ke 49% real time digital payments kiye in 2023 global champion.
Rumers ka sach kya hai?
Media reports keh rahe hain ki Rs 2,000 ke UPI payments par 18% GST lagaya ja sakta hai taaki digital transactions ko tax mein laya ja sake.
Lekin:
Abhi tak sarkar ne aisa koi proposal accept nahi kiya hai.
Finance Minister ne is baat ko “completely false” bola hai.
