Fintechs seek clarity on digital currency tieups despite RBI blessing

The Reserve Bank of India is conducting retail digital currency pilots for non-bank payment system operators (PSOs) with two major use cases being tested, including subsidy payments for farm inputs and corporate expense management. The blockchain-based digital currency allows for programmability of money, enabling usage restrictions to specific merchants. Banks and regulated fintechs are collaborating to develop use cases for central bank digital currency (CBDC), with ongoing weekly meetings with the RBI. Clarity is still needed on operational guidelines and product constructs for PSOs to engage with banks on CBDC integration. Startups are concerned about financial rules and alternative business models for CBDC investments.
