Which transaction value limit has been specified as charge-free for UPI payments?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
₹2,000 is the transaction value limit up to which UPI payments have been specified as charge-free by the government. Banks and payment system providers cannot charge customers for initiating or receiving UPI transactions up to this amount. The same exemption applies to RuPay debit card transactions up to ₹2,000.

The measure aims to ensure that consumers and small businesses can continue using digital payments for small-value transactions without additional charges. P2P UPI transactions also remain free for users.
