The All India Mobile Retailers Association (AIMRA) has requested the Finance Ministry to exempt small and medium mobile phone retailers from any proposed Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) or transaction charges on UPI payments. The AIMRA has also claimed that they are already operating on very thin business margins. 

In a letter to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, the AIMRA said it represents more than 1.50 lakh small mobile phone and electronics retailers across India, as per IANS.
