The All India Consumer Products Federation and the All India Mobile Retailers Association have decided to withdraw their proposed call for a ‘No UPI Day’ on Friday.

The decision was taken following a meeting between a delegation of around 20 senior trade leaders, led by BJP MP and Secretary General of the Confederation of All India Traders, Praveen Khandelwal, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi. During the meeting, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman assured the delegation that the government remains committed to promoting digital transactions while safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders.

The trade leaders reiterated their full support for the Digital India mission and the success of UPI, which has emerged as a global model for digital payments. The delegation expressed confidence that continued dialogue between the government and trade bodies would help evolve a practical and sustainable framework to further strengthen India’s digital economy.
