From October 15, Mumbai passengers purchasing railway tickets or suburban season passes worth ₹2,000 or more through UPI will face an additional ₹5.90 charge. This new charge comprises a ₹5 Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) and 90 paise GST. The impact will be particularly noticeable for higher-value transactions, such as first-class and AC passes on longer routes.
For example, a one-month AC pass between CSMT and Kalyan will increase from ₹2,340 to ₹2,345.90. The Railways have been urged to consider absorbing the charge instead of passing it on to passengers.
