There will be significant investments in adapting or building infrastructure for CBDC, and the concept note is not keen to introduce incentives, so we can expect a few more policy dilemmas down the road. Among these countries eight of the nine are located in the Caribbean. As per Gangesh Verma "The adoption and growth of CBDC is in the choices that the RBI makes based on the research and pilot programs. The RBI acknowledged that they are looking forward to seeing digital rupee 'bolster India's digital economy ' as they envision CBDC complementing the current forms of money rather than replacing them. The only difference is its form. RBI explained that the digital rupee would be a 'liability of the Reserve Bank, and not of commercial bank" It is a digital asset or currency of the Indian Rupee and can be exchanged for fiat currency one for one. - Another significant advantage is that the digital rupee is that it will be governed by a central authority hence reducing the volatile risk people often fear. - In comparison to paper money, the lifeline of a digital form of currency will go on forever. The Reserve Bank of India interprets Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) as a digital form of legal tender administered by a central bank. Other possible features of CBDC are that the digital cash must be approved as a medium of payment, legal tender, and a safe reserve of value by all citizens, enterprises, and government agencies. The Reserve Bank of India has distinguished CBDC as a 'legal tender' issued by a central bank in a digital form.

What Is Digital Rupee And How It Is Different From Cryptocurrencies (Jagran English)

INDIA's first Digital Rupee pilot project commenced on Tuesday with nine banks, including SBI, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, issuing the virtual currency for ...

Besides removing the need to be dependent on private digital currencies, the two primary advantages of having a CBDC like eRupee are that it does not require an intermediary — such as a bank — for transactions and is often the cheapest way to trade currencies. This is not insignificant; according to RBI, Rs 4,984.80 crore worth of expenditure was incurred for the fiscal year 2021-22. And while cryptocurrencies come under the ambit of digital currencies, all digital currencies are not cryptographic in nature. In the long run, cryptocurrencies and other non-fungible tokens based on blockchain technology are seen to render banks redundant. While fiat money — money that has no intrinsic value, but whose value is determined by the central bank of a country — has been around since the early twentieth century, it was not until cryptocurrencies took the globe by storm that serious thought was given to central bank digital currencies or CBDCs. INDIA's first Digital Rupee pilot project commenced on Tuesday with nine banks, including SBI, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, issuing the virtual currency for transactions in government securities.
