countries in this way is more than 7, whereas with the introduction of digital
currency, this item will be reduced by 2.

Transaction without internet


According to currency experts, e-rupee will be token based.

This means that you can send money to the person to whom you want to send
money using his public key.

This can be like an email id.You will need to enter a password to send money.
E-Rupee will work even without internet.

However, detailed information is yet to come on this.

Will interest also be available

According to the draft proposal of RBI, no interest will be given on e-rupee.
Explaining the reason for this, the central bank has said that if this step is taken
i.e. interest is given on it, then a large number of people can withdraw money
from banks and convert it into e-rupee.

This can lead to instability in the currency market.

India will be the first country to issue digital currency on behalf of the central
bank.

Prior to this, countries like Dubai (UAE), Russia, Sweden, Japan, Estonia and
Venezuela have launched their own cryptocurrency.
