Question 1 of 5
1. Question
2 pointsWhich one of the following is not correct about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)?
Correct
Explanation:
The State Bank of India has announced the implementation of UPI interoperability in its Digital Rupee (eRupee) also called Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
- Option (4) is the correct answer: e-RUPI is a contactless cashless voucher which a user gets on his or her phone in the form of an SMS or QR code. Whereas, e-rupee or digital rupee is a digital version of the Indian rupee and is exchangeable one-to-one with the fiat currency. Unlike cryptocurrencies, which are not regulated by a central authority, CBDCs are issued and controlled by the central bank. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has released a concept note outlining its plans for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), also known as the Digital Rupee or e-Rupee. This digital form of the Indian rupee will be interchangeable one-to-one with the physical currency and will have the same value and sovereignty as the fiat currency. The RBI announced the pilot program for the wholesale Digital Rupee segment on November 1, 2022, and the first pilot for CBDC-Retail was announced on December 1, 2022.
