I doubt, very soon it will be going to increase in decreasing rate or will just decrease, because almost all merchants are not aware about the MDR, i.e, 1.95%, as it doesn't apply instantaneously.

If not, acceptance rate will surely decrease among small merchants.

@Abhishek012 Thanks for sharing that post but it seems it's for SENDING money to nepal rather than receiving money in india from nepal. Can they send back via same channel ? Not clear at this point

By the way, last time i heard Nepal's Central bank is currently not allowed Nepal to India send money via UPI (if im not wrong), this feature is coming soon.
