What is Digital Rupee?
The Indian Rupee, a fiat currency, is represented digitally as the "Digital Rupee." It is comparable to a paper-based fiat currency that can be exchanged for any other fiat currency.
How to buy a Digital Rupee?
This fiscal year, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will launch the Digital Rupee. Users will be able to exchange digital rupees through a digital wallet provided by the participating banks and kept on mobile phones or other devices, according to the central bank.
The central bank has confirmed that both person-to-person (P2P) and person-to-merchant transactions in digital rupee are possible (P2M). Users will be able to conduct online-like transactions using QR codes displayed at merchant locations to pay with an e-Rupee.
Features of Digital Rupee
The benefits of CBDC are comparable to those of cryptocurrencies and other electronic forms of payment.
Other CBDC characteristics include the requirement that all individuals, businesses, and governmental organizations accept digital cash as a form of payment, legal tender, and a secure reserve of value.
- It is simple to convert it into cash and commercial bank money.
- The holders or consumers of the digital rupee will be able to use it without a bank account because it will be a flexible legal tender.
- A digital rupee cannot be torn, burned, or otherwise physically harmed.
- Digital rupees are irreplaceable.
- The lifeline of a digital form of currency will last forever in contrast to paper money.
- The digital rupee will be governed by a central authority, which has the significant benefit of lowering the risk of volatility that many people fear.

RBI, the Central Bank issued a press release with names of banks for participation in the digital rupee’s pilot. And the nine banks are:
- State Bank of India
