On the basis of the above facts, Answer the following Questions : How is Digital Rupee created and issued ?
Answer & Explanation:
Creation and issuance of retail e₹ is identical to the arrangement for issuance of paper currency i.e., RBI creates e₹ and issues them to banks and non-banks electronically. Banks and non-banks, thereafter, are responsible for facilitating onboarding and opening e₹ wallets for their customers on their mobile phones. The e₹ issuance, distribution, and usage within the retail segment (for members of the public) is live in pilot mode with effect from December 1, 2022. The users and merchants of identified Pilot Banks and Non-banks across the country can use e₹.
