75% of UPI users may abandon service if transaction fees are introduced: Survey
New Delhi: A recent survey by Localcircles reveals that approximately 75% of UPI users would cease using the service if transaction fees are implemented. The survey, which gathered 42,000 responses from 308 districts, indicates that 38% of users conduct over 50% of their transactions through UPI.
Only 22% of respondents are willing to accept any transaction fee, with a significant majority stating they would stop using UPI altogether. The survey also noted that UPI transactions soared to 131 billion in the fiscal year 2023-24, marking a 57% increase in volume and a 44% increase in value, totaling Rs 199.89 trillion.
