First legal challenge against UPI MDR filed in Supreme Court
The PIL argues that a change of this nature, affecting citizens at large, cannot be brought in through a press release.
In a landmark case, the first legal challenge has been filed against the Centre's decision to levy charges on merchants accepting Unified Payments Interface (UPI) payments of ₹2,000 or higher, according to a recent Mint Premium article. The case was initiated by Yash Tiwari, a Delhi-based lawyer, who is known for his expertise in court-driven policy shifts and the intersection of law and public policy.
Tiwari, a Mumbai-based journalist, has been in the profession for two years and has previously worked at NDTV Profit as an assistant producer. Born in Kolkata, he has a special interest in Indian law and aims to make complex legal issues accessible to the general public. When not working, Tiwari enjoys cricket and discussing the evolving landscape of law and policy in India.
