The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) plans to launch the Digital Rupee, India’s own Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), in the current fiscal year.
The CBDC will be introduced gradually, initially only for wholesale businesses, according to a BS report citing sources. According to the report, the Digital Rupee is designed in such a way that its users have no anonymity. According to media reports last month, the RBI will first make the CBDC available to retail and wholesale segments. Choudhary also stated that the Finance Act of 2022 amended the RBI Act of 1954 to allow the central bank to implement the CBDC this year. Sections of the RBI Act were amended to include CBDC as banknotes.
