Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Paytm share price fell 5.23% to Rs 1,641.50 on 8 October 2026 after media reports said the UPI MDR framework may start on 1 January 2027 instead of the proposed 15 October. No final decision has been announced. The stock still trades 11.5% below its 52-week high and about 76% above its 52-week low. Jefferies’ downside-scenario target of Rs 1,540 is one reference point for how far the stock could fall if MDR expectations weaken further.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Paytm share price fell 5.23% to Rs 1,641.50 on the NSE on 8 October 2026, and at the day’s low of Rs 1,558.80 it was down about 10% from the previous close of Rs 1,732. The trigger was a media report that the new UPI merchant discount rate (MDR) framework may be deferred to 1 January 2027 from the proposed 15 October rollout. There is no final decision yet.<\/p>\n

The fall came on a weak day for the market, with the Sensex<\/a> down 1.44% at 71,593.24 and the Nifty 50 down 1.64% at 22,231.80. Here is what the MDR proposal means for One97 Communications, what Jefferies and ICICI Securities have said, where the stock stands in its 52-week range and what could move it next.<\/p>\n
