Chai with PM Modi, paid through UPI, 'unforgettable' memory for President Macron

India Today  

French President Emmanuel Macron was smitten with the Unified Payments Interface, India's digital payment system, which was used for making payment of the tea that he and Prime Minister Narendra Modi enjoyed in Jaipur. In his speech at the official banquet hosted by President Droupadi Murmu for him at Rashtrapati Bhavan, Macron said he will "not forget" the chai which he had with PM Modi, using the Hindi word for tea. The UPI system combines multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application, allowing users to access various banking features, make easy fund transfers, and make payments to merchants. During his visit to France in July last year, PM Modi said Indian travellers will soon be able to pay using UPI in France.
