Congress MPs Refute Claim They Backed MDR: ‘No UPI Tax Proposal Discussed’

Gogoi said the committee had not discussed any specific proposal on the UPI tax recently announced by the government.

Congress MPs Gaurav Gogoi and Manish Tewari on Thursday refuted the claim that the decision to levy a fee on UPI payments was supported by them as members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance.

Gogoi said the committee had not discussed any specific proposal on the UPI tax recently announced by the government. In a post on X, he said the Department of Finance did not have any specific proposal on a UPI tax when its representatives met members of the Finance Committee.
