No need to share information with an unknown person. Privacy will be maintained. Firstly, the dependence on cash will decrease. The cost of printing physical rupees will be reduced. It will help in achieving the target of reducing the cash economy. It will also help in reducing transaction costs.
Question: Will it be like cryptocurrency?
Answer: No, then how will it be, let us know…
CBDC is not a cryptocurrency. The CBDC of the Reserve Bank of India will be a legal tender.
It will be issued by RBI, so there will be no risk of it. This will make it easier to buy in the country.
This private virtual currency will be completely different from bitcoin.
There are many obstacles with private virtual currency and these currencies like bitcoin are not recognized in all countries.
Also, since the private virtual currency is not linked to any government, there is a lot of risk in it.
Question: Is CBDC better than other digital payments?
Answer: Yes, know-how…
Suppose you transact with a CBDC instead of your bank account through a UPI system. In this, there is no need for interbank settlement as soon as the cash is handed over. With this, transactions from the payments system will be done in more real-time and at less cost. This will enable Indian importers to pay digital dollars in real time to US exporters without any middlemen.
Question: Will the introduction of CBDC affect banks?
Answer: Yes, know what kind of effect it will have…
The introduction of CBDC will reduce the demand for transactions for bank deposits. Also, the settlement risk will be less. Being risk-free, CBDC will reduce bank deposits. Also, the government guarantee on deposits will be cut. On the other hand, if banks lose deposits, their ability to build credit will be limited. Because central banks cannot provide loans to the private sector.
Will digital currency prove beneficial for common people?
With the introduction of digital currency, the cost of transactions for common people and businesses with the government will be reduced. For example, a worker in the UAE gets 50% of the salary in the form of digital money. With this, these people can send money to their relatives present in other countries easily and without paying extra charges.
The World Bank estimates that at present, sending money to other countries in this way has to pay a fee of more than 7%, while with the introduction of digital currency it will come down to 2%. With this, low-income countries will get more than $ 16 billion (Rs 1.2 lakh crore) every year.
