Ready for transactions via e-rupee, says Mumbai fruit vendor selected by RBI for digital currency pilot
Bacche Lal Sahani, a fruit vendor in Mumbai, is among the 15,000 people chosen by the Reserve Bank of India for its nationwide pilot project on Central Bank Digital Currency or e-rupee. On the issue of smoothness of transactions, the fruit vendor said that he’s already received a couple of transactions but accepts that the speed is still an issue and that he’s already informed the representatives of the RBI about it. The fruit vendor also added that once the e-rupee platform is ready, he will have another option of payment besides cash and UPI. RBI has for its pilot project included a couple of cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and more will be added in the coming days.
