Hope you have got answers to all your present and future questions. 
Even my local medical shop happily takes Rupay card as he is not charged anything where as for MC/Visa he wants surcharge to be added so that he dont loose anything.
Fact.
MDR charges are paid by merchant. having MDR charges means putting penalty on merchant to accept digital payments.
Whats is the use of all the infrastructure when merchants wont use it.
Visa/Mastercard has been in India for decades.. UPI came in 2016 and Zero MDR in 2019...just see the growth post Zero MDR...people are ready to accept digital payment on every corner of this country.
Companies makes money when we use their app, Our data is used for cross sell, upsell and even given to third party? do you see anyone complaining ??
Did anyone see Banks complaining when they make more profits as people are moving to digital means less branches, less workforce, less physical record keeping, less cheques to be issued and posted and etc etc
True that, zero MDR mean no offers from bank on using rupay card, hence users are also not interested in rupay card…..
Bhai aap rupay cards ke liye marketing karto ho kya ??

Banks give offers on RuPay cards too but the issuance of RuPay cards has been trending down.

You've probably heard from some people Visa/mastercard have highest transaction success rate and another side some people told RuPay card is worst, always transaction failure. Why do people say that ? because banks give first priority to visa/mastercard transactions, that's not all if any banks give worst service on visa/mastercard transactions then visa/mastercard impose heavy penalty to banks. It will take few decades, when banks will start giving priority to RuPay cards too but this will happen only when more and more people start using RuPay cards and more people will use RuPay card only when banks will issue more cards to customers including premium and super premium RuPay cards.
I see more acceptance of UPI....much much more than Mastercard and Visa.. How come zero MDR is working against UPI and it will be killedEven my local medical shop happily takes Rupay card as he is not charged anything where as for MC/Visa he wants surcharge to be added so that he dont loose anything.

Ultimately the work has to be done by the banks.

3 years ago all private banks alloted super premier RuPay debit card BINs -
Yes bank already allotted super premier RuPay debit card BIN – 652513
HDFC bank already allotted super premier RuPay debit card BIN – 652511
Axis bank already allotted super premier RuPay debit card BIN – 652514

Merchant dont care if it is super premium card or entry level card.
again please dont look at just MDR..banking is much much more apart from MDR.
Banks have tons of avenue to make money, they will even charge you withdrawing own money or depositing cash in own account.
Even As a customer my preference will be as below
1. Acceptance without any additional surcharge
2. Acceptance without any additional surcharge
3. rewards(if surcharge is their than reward should be more than the surcharge)
4. I dont care if my card is on Visa/Mastercard or Rupay. ..why should I even care about this.
As a merchant one must be just happy accepting even entry level Rupay card (Zero MDR) vs top most premium AMEX card. ..eventually this what drive the digital penetration
Coming to the original post..which was talking about benefits of digital payments, transparency…what is the volume of digital transactions 3 years back(MDR) vs now(Zero MDR vs Rupay)..one will get the answer what is driving the digital switch.

Banks will not promote untill customers start demanding RuPay cards.
It's a paradox, Banks will not promote until customers start demanding RuPay cards or customers will not ask for RuPay cards unless banks forcefully issue them to customers.
Somebody has to move forward, whether it will be a bank or a customer.

India is moving away from cards.
UPI is the future. just see the volumes it is doing every month.
if you are looking for a card, just try to get most rewarding card as customer.

Yes, but currently UPI only replaces debit cards and wallets.
Credit cards still dominate and now a days some fintech companies start issuing credit line on Prepaid cards, also get 1% or 2% cashback on prepaid card transactions.

UPI replaces everything.
Total Debit card transactions in Sep2021 348779858 ~ 35Crore
Total Credit card transactions in Sep2021 184720412 ~18Crores
Total UPI transactions in Oct 2021 4.2 billion or 420 Crores ..
All this growth is because of Zero MDR and UPI does not need physical cards
Dont know why you are saying credit cards still dominate…
Sudarshan61 wrote:No bro, Credit UPI (cUPI) is not available yet. Credit cards reach different types of customers. Those who want to pay now and repay later or repay in EMIs. You can't compare UPI with Credit cards. Currently UPI is equivalent to Debit cards and ewallets only.

Its rupay’s problem still no int’l payment gateways don’t have rupay support. Even google play has no rupay card support. Rupay won’t work without 2FA while visa/mastercard cards works. Rupay should introduce co-branded cards with visa and mastercard. Inside India it works as rupay while outside it will be visa/mastercard. Also increase the MDR to atleast Amex level so we will get more bank offers. Personally I hate upi now every local offline merchant allow only upi for digital transactions because of 0% MDR. UPI doesn’t give any regular rewards or cashback for every transaction.

5th, RuPay prepaid cards MDR charges already increase to 2.5% but do you know what happened with this ? merchants reject to accepting RuPay prepaid cards and some online merchants already disabled RuPay prepaid cards because of 2.5% MDR and you suggesting for increase the MDR to atleast Amex level means 3%+ MDR. 
This idea has already flopped. Most of the merchants can't afford higher MDR charges.

Rupay doesn’t work in stripe, steam (direct payment without novaplay),origin,gog,Google pay (US),Amazon pay(US)
I need rupay to work like visa and mastercard without tokenisation in int’l websites and bypass 2fa
Well it’s prepaid what they are going to do if rupay increases the MDR on credit and debt cards outright ban all of them considering the fact many govt banks default provide rupay cards. These merchants shooting themselves for banning rupay. I need attractive cashback/reward points on rupay credit cards like amex so high mdr is necessary. Also rupay doesn’t have a super premium tier CC that gives luxury car rental,unlimited int’l lounge access, free five star hotel stays without enough mdr how it is possible.

Yes int’l websites, it will work without tokenisation.
You need to understand, people like you are just 0.001% who want this type of luxury services.
Visa/mastercard/Amex took 70 years to reach here.
Visa/mastercard spend more than $1 Billion to just maintain their servers & security every year.
You already know what would happen if our govt gave $1 billion to NPCI ?
Everything takes time. There is only one party system in china. No one can ask any ques to the Chinese govt and chinese govt is trying to push China's UnionPay card to accept and issue every country but still even 20 years after the launch of Unionpay Card, the coverage in Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific to 70%, 70%, and 90% respectively.
If you think, why i gave you the example of China. The simple answer is that everything takes time. Now you will understand why would RuPay card take 30 to 40 years to complete with Visa/Mastercard in the international arena.
