General Appeal –
Appeal to Declare April 11 as
Safe ePay Day
## A Heartfelt Call to Establish
Safe ePay Day
This appeal is driven by a deep
belief in the transformative power of India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI)
and the urgent need to promote secure digital payments worldwide.
On April 11, 2016, UPI’s pilot
launch set the stage for a financial revolution, and as we approach its tenth
anniversary in 2026, we propose declaring April 11 as **Safe ePay Day**.
This initiative, with no personal
gain in mind, seeks to celebrate India’s fintech legacy while inspiring a
global movement for safe, inclusive e-payments. **Safe ePay Day** is not just a
celebration—it’s a call to action for a more secure digital future.
# Why
April 11 Deserves to Be ‘Safe ePay Day’
The pilot launch of UPI on April
11, 2016, by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) marked a turning
point in digital finance. Today, as of May 18, 2025, UPI processes over 14
billion transactions monthly, empowering millions with seamless, secure
payments. Declaring April 11 as **Safe ePay Day** honors this milestone and
provides a platform to emphasize the importance of cybersecurity in digital
transactions, ensuring that the benefits of fintech reach everyone safely.
## Four Key Reasons to Celebrate
Safe ePay Day
### 1. Celebrating UPI’s Legacy
Through Safe ePay Day
UPI has revolutionized financial
inclusion by enabling instant transactions via Virtual Payment Addresses or QR
codes, bridging urban-rural divides. From street vendors to entrepreneurs, UPI
has made digital payments accessible to all. **Safe ePay Day** on April 11
celebrates this legacy by highlighting how UPI’s secure framework empowers
millions, encouraging users to adopt safe practices to protect their financial
interactions and sustain this transformative impact.
### 2. Honoring NPCI’s Visionary
Leadership with Safe ePay Day
NPCI’s innovative design of UPI—a
real-time, interoperable platform—has made it a global benchmark, processing
billions of transactions annually while maintaining trust. By declaring April
11 as **Safe ePay Day**, we honor NPCI’s commitment to security and
scalability. **Safe ePay Day** can serve as a moment to recognize NPCI’s role
in building a reliable fintech ecosystem, inspiring further advancements in
secure payment technologies.
### 3. Promoting Secure Digital
Practices Through Safe ePay Day
With the rise of digital
payments, cybersecurity challenges like phishing and fraud have grown. **Safe
ePay Day** on April 11 provides a dedicated opportunity to educate individuals
and businesses on safe e-payment practices, such as using two-factor
authentication and verifying transaction details. By making **Safe ePay Day** a
global platform for awareness, we can ensure that digital payments remain a
safe and trusted tool for financial empowerment.
### 4. Inspiring a Global
Movement with Safe ePay Day
UPI’s success has inspired
international adoption in countries like Nepal, Singapore, and Peru, showcasing
its potential as a model for global payment systems. Declaring April 11 as
**Safe ePay Day** can ignite a worldwide movement, encouraging other nations to
develop secure, inclusive digital payment systems. Like the International Day
of Yoga, **Safe ePay Day** can position India as a fintech leader, fostering
international collaboration to ensure safe e-payments for all.
## A Vision for Safe ePay Day on
April 11
We envision **Safe ePay Day** on
April 11 as a global celebration of secure digital payments. Communities can
host workshops on cybersecurity, businesses can offer incentives for safe
e-payment practices, and schools can educate students on the role of technology
in financial safety. As we approach UPI’s tenth anniversary in 2026, let’s
establish **Safe ePay Day** as a day to reflect on UPI’s impact and commit to a
future where every transaction is secure and inclusive.

Action
