UPI handles about 24 billion payments a month in India, and for the person paying, every one of them is free. So who pays for it? This explainer follows one 100 rupee tea and samosa payment through the app, two banks and NPCI's national switch, then builds up the whole system: why the law has made UPI free for merchants since January 1, 2020, what the zero MDR rule costs, and how the government, the banks and the apps have shared the bill. Then the business puzzle: how PhonePe, Google Pay and Paytm make money from payments they cannot charge for, from rented soundbox speakers to insurance and loans, and why free payments favoured the biggest apps. We end with the new 0.4 percent merchant fee on UPI payments above 2,000 rupees, who pays it and who is spared, the debate over the right price, and NPCI's decision to defer it until after Diwali.
