Apart from this, TDS of 1% will have to be paid on transactions with cryptocurrencies.

Government digital currency will give a big boost to the economy

This dgtl crncy will also be based on blockchain and other crypto technologies, like bitcoin and other types of cryptocurrencies operating around the world. Finance Minister Sitharaman said that after the introduction of central bank dgtl crncy, the currency management system will become very easy and cheap. This is likely to give a big boost to the economy of the country. Along with this, the digitization of the economy will also get accelerated.

Let us know how different this digital rupee will be from currency notes? Can I invest in it like bitcoin? What will be the role of banks? How will this digital rupee be different from the digital payments we are making?

What is Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)?

It is an electronic form of cash. Just like you do cash transactions, you will also be able to do dgtl crncy transactions. CBDCs work somewhat like cryptocurrencies (like bitcoin or ether). With this, the transaction is done without any intermediary or bank. You will get the dgtl crncy from the Reserve Bank and it will reach to whomever you pay or transfer. Will neither go to any wallet nor to bank account. Will work exactly like cash, but will be digital.

How is this Digital Rupee different from Digital Payment?

• is very different. You must be feeling that digital transactions are being done through bank transfers, digital wallets or card payments, then how did dgtl crncy become different?
• It is very important to understand that most digital payments work like cheques. You give instructions to the bank. He makes a payment or transaction of ‘real’ rupees from the amount deposited in your account. Many organizations, people are involved in every digital transaction, who complete this process.
• For example, if you made a payment with a credit card, did the other person get it immediately? No. Digital payment takes from a minute to 48 hours to reach the account of the front-end. That is, the payment is not instant, it has a process.
• When you talk about digital currency or digital rupee, you paid and the other person got it. That is its merit. The digital transaction happening now is the transfer of money deposited in a bank account. But CBDC is going to replace currency notes.

How will this digital rupee be different from cryptocurrencies like bitcoin?

• The concept of dgtl crncy is not new. It comes from cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, which were launched in 2009. After this, fifty cryptocurrencies have been launched from Ether, Dogecoin. Over the years it has evolved as a new asset class in which people are investing.
• Private cryptocurrencies are issued by private people or companies. It does not monitor it. People are transacting anonymously, due to which cryptocurrencies are being used in terrorist incidents and illegal activities. They are not supported by any central bank. This currency is limited, due to which its value varies according to supply and demand. The value of one bitcoin has fallen by up to 50%.
• But when you talk about the proposed digital rupee, it is being launched by the central bank across the world, that is, the Reserve Bank of India. There is neither a quantity limit nor an issue of financial and monetary stability. One rupee coin and digital rupee have equal strength. But the monitoring of the digital rupee will be possible and who has how much money, it will be known to the Reserve Bank.
• However, Parin Lathia, AVP-Marketing at WazirX, one of India’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, says that the RBI’s launch of a dgtl crncy will not affect either bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency has become a kind of asset, which will continue to be traded around the world. India cannot lag behind in this.

Has any country launched a digital currency till now?

• After six years of research, the People’s Bank of China launched two pilot projects in April 2020. E-yuans were distributed through a lottery system. By June 2021, 24 million people and companies had created e-CNY or digital yuan wallets.
• In China, 3450 million digital yuan (40 thousand crore rupees) has been transacted in utility bills, restaurants and transport. A Bloomberg report says that the digital yuan’s share of the Chinese economy will rise to 9% by 2025. If successful, China will become the first country in the world to launch a central bank dgtl crncy.
• In January 2021, the Bank of International Settlements reported that 86% of central banks around the world are working on dgtl crncy. Smaller countries like the Bahamas have even recently launched sand dollars as a CBDC.
• Canada, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the United States, as well as the European Union, are working on a dgtl crncy with the Bank of International Settlements. With this, digital currency transactions are going to become a reality soon.

Why has the interest of central banks around the world in digital currency increased?

These are 4 big advantages of digital currency-

1. Efficiency: It is less expensive. Transactions can also happen faster. In comparison, the printing cost of currency notes, the transaction cost is also high.
2. Financial Inclusion: One does not need a bank account for dgtl crncy. It can also be offline.
3. Prevention of corruption: Government will keep an eye on dgtl crncy. Tracking of digital rupee will be possible, which is not possible with cash.
4. Monetary Policy: How much and when to issue Digital Rupee will be in the hands of the Reserve Bank. The excess or shortage of money in the market can be managed.

What is the work done by RBI on digital currency in India?

• Digital currency is being talked about in India for two-three years. But the Reserve Bank has neither published any research nor launched any pilot project. The Reserve Bank of India’s digital payments webpage states that alternatives to CBDCs are under investigation.
• The problem is also that digital currency has not been issued on a large scale in any country. Pilot projects are also going on in China. Because of this, there is no model in front, which can be seen and worked on and adopted. China has stepped up efforts to patent the digital yuan.
• RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said a few months ago that we are working on dgtl crncy, but there are challenges associated with technological innovation. Financial stability also has to be looked at.

“The unveiling of the digital rupee demonstrates the Indian government’s acceptance of blockchain technology. While the fate of private cryptocurrencies is unknown. The digital rupee released by the RBI will usher in a new era in currency governance. It is in line with other countries such as China and England. According to Amit Agarwal, partner at Nangia Andersen, more details on how this will work are about to appear in F22-23.
