India's Cash Hoard Shocks The World; Why Are Billions Piling Up In A UPI Nation? | Vantage | 4K

India’s digital payments boom has transformed how people pay, with UPI processing a record 24.51 billion transactions in a single month. But cash is not disappearing. In this video, Firstpost examines India’s cash paradox, with currency held by the public rising to about ₹41.8 lakh crore even as digital payments reach new highs. The video looks at why households, small businesses and informal workers continue to rely on physical cash, including as a backup when digital payments fail. It also examines the new MDR framework for specified merchant UPI payments above ₹2,000 and why changes in digital payment costs could influence the way merchants accept cash and UPI. Hem Saroya tells you more.
