UPI Charges From October 2026: What You Need to Know

Image
  Will UPI payments become chargeable from October 2026? This question is creating considerable confusion among UPI users across India. Messages circulating on social media suggest that people may have to pay charges for using UPI from October. The reality is more specific. The Government of India has clarified that ordinary consumers will not be charged for making UPI payments , and person-to-person (P2P) UPI transactions will remain free . The new framework relates primarily to Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on certain higher-value person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions . What Is Changing? Under the framework announced in September 2026, P2P transactions remain completely free , irrespective of the transaction value. The change concerns P2M transactions above ₹2,000 —that is, when an individual pays a merchant using UPI. According to the Government's September 15 clarification, an MDR of 0.4% applies to eligible P2M transactions above ₹2,000, with a maximum MDR of ₹300 for ...

Teachers’ Day: Honouring the People Who Shape Our Future

Image
Xvu's Happy Teaches Day Happy Teachers’ Day! Teachers are among the most important people in our lives. They do much more than teach lessons from textbooks. They inspire curiosity, develop our thinking, correct our mistakes, encourage our efforts, and help us discover our potential. Every profession begins with a teacher. Engineers, scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, administrators, researchers and leaders all have one thing in common: somewhere along their journey, a teacher helped them take the next step. Why Teachers Matter A good teacher does not simply provide information. A good teacher teaches us how to think. In the classroom, students learn formulas, theories, concepts and practical skills. But beyond the syllabus, teachers also teach discipline, patience, responsibility, problem-solving and perseverance. Sometimes a teacher's influence may not be visible immediately. A simple word of encouragement can remain in a student's mind for years. A difficult question can...

RAIVU: A Simple and Accurate Approximation of Voltage Unbalance

Image
Root Average of Individual Voltage Unbalance (RAIVU) — A voltage-magnitude-based approximation to TAU-based Voltage Unbalance 1. Introduction Voltage unbalance is an important power-quality parameter because unequal phase voltages can produce negative-sequence components, additional losses, torque pulsations, and thermal stress in three-phase electrical equipment. Several simplified voltage-unbalance indices are commonly used, including the Line Voltage Unbalance Rate (LVUR) and statistical measures based on voltage deviation. During my PhD research, I developed an alternative approach called: \[ \boxed{\text{RAIVU — Root Average of Individual Voltage Unbalance}} \] RAIVU estimates voltage unbalance directly from the three measured phase-voltage magnitudes without requiring symmetrical-component calculation. 2. Basic Concept Let the three phase-voltage magnitudes be \[ V_1,\;V_2,\;V_3 \] and their arithmetic mean be \[ V_m=\frac{V_1+V_2+V_3}{3}. \] Define the individual vo...
