Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has completed 10 years, marking a major milestone in India’s digital payments journey. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday recalled the transformation brought about by the payment system and invited citizens to share their experiences of using UPI.
The Prime Minister said UPI’s rollout a decade ago marked a major turning point in India’s digital payments ecosystem.
Highlighting the progress made over the past 10 years, Modi said the scale and reach achieved by UPI is something every Indian should be proud of.
In a post on X, the Prime Minister asked citizens to share their UPI experiences and explain how the digital payment system has impacted their lives.
“A decade ago, UPI was rolled out, marking a major turning point in India’s digital payments journey,” Modi said in the post.
He added that the scale and reach of UPI over the years had become a source of pride for the country.
The Prime Minister’s message puts the spotlight on how digital payments have become integrated into everyday transactions across India.
UPI enables users to make instant bank-to-bank payments digitally, including through smartphones and QR-based payment systems. Its widespread adoption has made digital payments increasingly common across a range of transactions.
The completion of a decade represents an important milestone for India’s broader push towards digital financial infrastructure.
By asking citizens to share their experiences, the Prime Minister highlighted the role played by consumers and businesses in expanding the adoption of digital payments.
The government is marking the milestone with the #10YearsOfUPI campaign, encouraging people to share stories about how UPI has influenced the way they make and receive payments.
