Can eRupee Be Converted To Cash? RBI Official Clarifies

In an event, the chief general manager of the fintech department of RBI said that CBDC or eRupee cannot be converted into cash currently.

Up to now, the digital currency or eRupee of intermediary banks can not be converted into cash, nor can cash be converted into eRupee. India's reserve bank will sell rupees only to users who have deposits with the bank.

According to the Bank of India, the progress of the eRupee pilot project has been very successful. The pilot new project is only open to closed groups, and the number of users has been gradually increasing. Anui Lanzhan, general manager of the Internet Finance Department of the Bank of India, said at an event of the Indian Chamber of Commerce that the central bank would bear the costs related to the rupee because it was for more collective interests. He said it would be credited to the Reserve Bank of India's debt, just like a loan currency.

Digital wallet can be downloaded

Ajayi Rajan, head of trading banking at Yes Bank, points out that customers can download digital wallets at Apple Store and Google Play Store. Only bank customers whose SIM card number is associated with a bank account can do so, he added. In addition, after assembling the wallet, customers can add digital currency from all banks.

The data rupee made its debut on December 1, 2022. The pilot is now being carried out at four popular banks in Mumbai, Calcutta, Bubanishti and the Indian capital.

In the second phase of the pilot, more banks and other regions will also be added. The Reserve Bank of India said earlier that because gold is a digital currency, it will make buying and selling easier, faster and cheaper.
