What happened
Opposition leaders Jairam Ramesh and Gaurav Gogoi raised concerns regarding the government's financial policies. Gaurav Gogoi stated that the Parliament Standing Committee on Finance had not discussed the specific UPI tax proposal, nor did the Finance Department have satisfactory answers regarding the need for a tiered Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) framework. Ramesh also used the platform to raise concerns over the government's latest Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill.

Why it matters
The concerns focus on the legislative and public scrutiny of the government's financial policies regarding Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and MDR. The opposition leaders challenged the government's handling of these financial infrastructure issues.
The government introduced a taxation amendment bill while the RBI utilized funds to support UPI infrastructure.
