• Central Bank Digital Currency: e-rupee
The digital rupee is a legal tender issued by the Reserve Bank of India in electronic form. It is the digital counterpart of physical cash, based on blockchain technology. “It is substantially not different from banknotes, but being digital it is likely to be easier, faster and cheaper,” the central bank highlighted in a concept note released in October. However, unlike paper currency which constitutes a liability to commercial banks as well, the e-rupee will be RBI’s liability alone. One need not open a bank account to hold it. It will offer the same features of physical cash such as trust, safety, liquidity and settlement facilitation.
