Next, the bank will initiate a pilot program to explore the use of a retail digital rupee that members of the general public will be able to use, according to a report from the Economic Times of India. The retail digital rupee pilot is expected to launch within the next month. The National Payments Corporation of India will be hosting the CBDC platform, which will be similar to the instant real-time payment system formed by NPCI, the unified payments interface system.

“Just like we have a common library for UPI, the technology for CBDC is similar to that, and it is being hosted by NPCI, it will be interoperable with the current payment platforms,” an anonymous source told the Economic Times of India. “The e-rupee will be stored in a wallet, the denominations will be available as per the customer’s request, just like you request cash from an ATM. Banks are launching this only in select cities.
