India's own CBDC has been launched today for pilot

It might be the next revolution in payments like UPI🤯

What does it mean to you? 🤔

Here is all about the Indian CBDC 👇

1/ What is CBDC?

CBDC stands a Centrally Backed Digital Currency

Just like a physical note, CBDC will be:

- Legal Tender
- Liability of the RBI to return us that money
- Our legal obligation to accept it
- Freely convertible against commercial bank
money

Symbol: e₹
2/ Features of CBDC?

Apart from 1 above,

A. You won't need a bank account for transacting 🤯

B. Lower cost of issuance vis-a-vis notes

C. Negligible risk of being stolen or torn vis-a-vis notes
3/ How will it be different from UPI?

- No time required for settlement amongst banks

- No need of having a bank account
Hence, improving financial inclusion

- Substitute of cash
4/ Need for CBDC

A. Security over bank deposits

While our bank balances are insured up to ₹5Lakhs

But since CBDC is CENTRALLY BACKED,

it is the government's liability to return us each and every penny

Well, that's what's in for us.

What about the govt? Read on👇
B. Reduction in cost associated with physical cash management

Did you know❓🤔

Govt incurred ₹4,984.80 Cr. for just printing money🤯

CBDCs will help in reducing cost of:
- Printing
- Storage
- Transportation
- Reconciliation (and delay)
- Settlement

++ Environment Friendly!
C. No Settlement Risk

- In an online payments system, banks need to settle transactions amongst themselves

- CBDC will eliminate this by giving choices to market
participants to choose among various settlement options

-Payments using CBDCs are final and reduce settlement risk
D. Improved Cross-Border Payments Scenario

India is the world’s largest recipient of remittances as it received $87 billion in 2021

- High costs
- Slow speed
- Limited access and
- Insufficient transparency

are some challenges which CBDC will endeavour to solve
E. Support Financial Inclusion

Despite measures taken like 'Jan Dhan Yojana' and UPI

our score at the Financial Inclusion Index is quite low

CBDCs will solve the problems like:

- Poor bank infra availability in remote areas,
- Poor connectivity etc,
F. Ensure end-use utilisation

CBDC is programmable. The trail of money can be tracked

It will be easy for govt to ensure that subsidy released has not been siphoned-off

And indeed used for the purpose intended

E.g. To track subsidy for fertilizer is used for its purchase only
G. Reduced Threats From Western Sanctions

Countries keep their foreign reserves in US Dollars and Gold Reserves

The West recently froze Russian assets held in such reserves

CBDC will help us from such future sanctions

#தினம்_ஒரு_திருவாசகம்
தொல்லை இரும்பிறவிச் சூழும் தளை நீக்கி
அல்லல் அறுத்து ஆனந்தம் ஆக்கியதே – எல்லை
மருவா நெறியளிக்கும் வாதவூர் எங்கோன்
திருவாசகம் என்னும் தேன்

பொருள்:
1.எப்போது ஆரம்பித்தது என அறியப்படமுடியாத தொலை காலமாக (தொல்லை)

2. இருந்து வரும் (இரும்)


3.பிறவிப் பயணத்திலே ஆழ்த்துகின்ற (பிறவி சூழும்)

4.அறியாமையாகிய இடரை (தளை)

5.அகற்றி (நீக்கி),

6.அதன் விளைவால் சுகதுக்கமெனும் துயரங்கள் விலக (அல்லல் அறுத்து),

7.முழுநிறைவாய்த் தன்னுளே இறைவனை உணர்த்துவதே (ஆனந்த மாக்கியதே),

8.பிறந்து இறக்கும் காலவெளிகளில் (எல்லை)

9.பிணைக்காமல் (மருவா)

10.காக்கும் மெய்யறிவினைத் தருகின்ற (நெறியளிக்கும்),

11.என் தலைவனான மாணிக்க வாசகரின் (வாதவூரெங்கோன்)

12.திருவாசகம் எனும் தேன் (திருவா சகமென்னுந் தேன்)

முதல்வரி: பிறவி என்பது முன்வினை விதையால் முளைப்பதோர் பெருமரம். அந்த ‘முன்வினை’ எங்கு ஆரம்பித்தது எனச் சொல்ல இயலாது. ஆனால் ‘அறியாமை’ ஒன்றே ஆசைக்கும்,, அச்சத்துக்கும் காரணம் என்பதால், அவையே வினைகளை விளைவிப்பன என்பதால், தொடர்ந்து வரும் பிறவிகளுக்கு, ‘அறியாமையே’ காரணம்

அறியாமைக்கு ஆரம்பம் கிடையாது. நமக்கு ஒரு பொருளைப் பற்றிய அறிவு எப்போதிருந்து இல்லை? அதைச் சொல்ல முடியாது. அதனாலேதான் முதலடியில், ஆரம்பமில்லாத அஞ்ஞானத்தை பிறவிகளுக்குக் காரணமாகச் சொல்லியது. ஆனால் அறியாமை, அறிவின் எழுச்சியால், அப்போதே முடிந்து விடும்.
