UPI's Free Ride Questioned, Affecting Paytm Stock

Imagine you can pay for things with your phone, like using UPI.

The government decided not to charge extra fees for these transactions.

This made a company called Paytm, which helps with these payments, a little less valuable.

The stock price dropped because they might not make as much money.

Some people in the industry wanted to charge a small fee for big transactions to make more money.

India is a leader in using this phone payment system, but experts think it might not be able to stay free forever, so they need to find a way to make money.
