    A pilot program for the retail digital rupee will be launched by the Reserve Bank of India on December 1, 2022. Eight banks have been identified for phase-wise participation in this pilot. State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, Yes Bank and IDFC First Bank will participate in the first phase. This pilot will be expanded to include Bank of Baroda, Union Bank of India, HDFC Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank.

    Reserve Bank of India to launch retail digital rupee pilot program on December 1The pilot will cover Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, and Bhubaneswar, and then Ahmedabad, Gangtok, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Kochi, Lucknow, Patna, and Shimla. The pilot could expand gradually to more banks, users, and locations. Select locations would be part of a closed user group – CUG – of participating customers and merchants. A digital rupee would represent legal tender in the form of a digital token.

    Digital rupees can be transacted through a virtual wallet offered by participating banks. There are two types of transactions: Person-to-Person and Person-to-Merchant. QR codes displayed at merchant locations can be used to pay merchants. A digital rupee would offer trust, safety, and security like physical cash.

    There will be no interest earned on it, and it can be converted into other money forms, like bank deposits. Tests will be conducted in real time of the entire process of creating, distributing, and using digital rupees. The digital rupee token and architecture will be tested in further pilots, based on the lessons learned from this project.
