RBI Working On Offline CBDCs To Boost Retail Volumes: Governor

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is working on making its central bank digital currency (CBDC) offline-compatible and introducing value-added services to promote financial inclusion. The Governor of RBI, Shaktikanta Das, stated that they are also looking to connect payment systems like the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) with the CBDC. The CBDC pilot for retail transactions started in December 2022 and achieved the target of 10 lakh (1 million) transactions per day by December 2023. The RBI is also conducting trials for CBDC use in the government securities market and the interbank call money market. Concerns about disintermediation risks to banks have been addressed by making the CBDC non-remunerative and non-interest bearing.
