Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The RBI will create tokens, and issue them to financial entities called Token Service Providers (TSPs), which are the banks selected for the Digital Rupee Pilot Program. The TSP will then distribute the tokens to interested parties/customers. The digital Rupee tokens will work in the same way as bank notes/coins, and you can use them in lieu of cash.
You may store digital Rupees in your bank’s digital wallet CBDC-R app. The digital wallet works in the same way as your cash wallet, except these transactions will be entirely paperless.
e₹ is closest in comparison to cash. When you pay cash, the physical note/coin goes from your wallet to someone else’s. Similarly, a user transfers e₹ from their e₹ Wallet to someone else’s.
Unlike e₹, which is a currency, UPI is only a payment system which allows transfer of money from one bank account to another through an intermediary.
A cryptocurrency is a decentralized asset where transactions between parties are settled by a pool of users. In e₹, the central bank takes responsibility for ensuring the transactions are settled.
Besides, e₹ will enjoy the same stability in value as the rupee while cryptocurrencies can be very volatile.
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) also known as “Digital Rupee” or “e₹” is a legal tender, similar to sovereign paper currency, and is issued in digital form by the Reserve Bank of India. e₹ will offer features of physical cash like trust, safety and settlement finality with atomicity (i.e. immediate settlement of transactions) in digital mode. e₹ represents a direct claim on the central bank. It can be used to carry out transactions or store value digitally, similar to the manner in which currency notes can be used in physical form.
e₹ is a form of money, a digital representation of physical currency, whereas UPI or other fund transfer modes are forms of payment. Therefore, usage of e₹ is not limited to payments. e₹ also serves the purpose of ‘unit of account’ and importantly, ‘store of value’ as it represents a claim on the Reserve Bank’s balance sheet. Moreover, e₹ will have additional attributes specific to currency which will be tested in future pilots.
No. e₹ is digital form of currency notes unlike other cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. e₹ has intrinsic value and is regulated by the RBI. e₹ will always have same value as of physical bank currency notes which is a legal tender issued by the central bank unlike crypto assets such as bitcoin. Cryptos like bitcoin do not exhibit any features of a currency, do not have any intrinsic value, and are neither backed by assets nor issued by a central trusted authority.
No. Reserve Bank of India in its concept note states that e₹ is aimed to complement and create an alternate to physical currency and not replace current forms of money. It is envisaged to provide additional avenue of handling money to users.
No. In the first pilot, payments can be accepted only by merchants and individuals who are included in the closed user group.
Below are the simple steps to follow to install the app and register for CBDC (e₹). Please note that you will only be able to register on the app if you are selected for the first pilot of e₹.
