Hello Sreedhar, thank you for the insight. But if this eRupee gains ground, wont it be a bad business for bank? Since rbi is cutting them directly? And what about the security of those eRupees at customers and rbi both places?

Thank you for reading, Dharmil :) Hope you've subscribed as well.

It will definitely be bad business for banks. Which is why I've said it doesn't play into their incentives to get more deposits. The important question is can the RBI get something to gain traction even if it's against banks' interest to do so? How will they get through to the banks by displeasing their immediate regulatees?

As for the security aspect, since this is just a pilot there isn't enough info out there about how the eRupee works. It really depends on what design choices -- both system and tech -- RBI is making here (which from what I've gathered is also by itself a work-in-progress).
