Experts Explain Benefits And Technological Challenges Of Digital Rupee

India’s first pilot project on retail digital rupee was rolled out by the Reserve Bank of India on Thursday in Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, and Bhubaneswar. The retail digital rupee project has started in a closed user group with the participation of four lenders – State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, YES Bank, and IDFC First Bank – as well as customers and merchants. In the second phase of retail digital rupee project, nine more cities and four more banks will be included, according to the RBI statement. As digital rupee is no longer bound to geographical locations even non-residents can also hold it to complete cross border financial transactions.
