रिलायंस रिटेल डिजिटल रुपये में करेगी लेन-देन

 

चर्चा में क्यों

 

रिलायंस रिटेल ने घोषणा की है कि उसने देश में अपने सभी स्टोरों पर भारत सरकार के डिजिटल रुपये के माध्यम से खुदरा भुगतान स्वीकार करना शुरू कर दिया है। रिलायंस रिटेल ने यहां अपने गोरमेट फूड स्टोर फ्रेशपिक में आरबीआई द्वारा निर्मित और ब्लॉकचैन-आधारित सेंट्रल बैंक डिजिटल करेंसी (सीबीडीसी) की पहली इन-स्टोर स्वीकृति शुरू की।

 

महत्वपूर्ण बिंदु

 

सीबीडीसी फिएट मनी का एक डिजिटल संस्करण है जो सह-अस्तित्व में हार्ड कैश होगा। रिलायंस रिटेल के निदेशक वी. सुब्रमण्यम ने कहा, हमारे स्टोर्स पर डिजिटल करेंसी की स्वीकार्यता में अग्रणी होने की यह ऐतिहासिक पहल भारतीय उपभोक्ताओं को पसंद की शक्ति प्रदान करने की कंपनी की रणनीतिक दृष्टि के अनुरूप है।

 

रिलायंस रिटेल ने डिजिटल रुपये के लिए इन-स्टोर सपोर्ट लॉन्च करने के लिए आईसीआईसीआई बैंक, कोटक महिंद्रा बैंक और फिनटेक इनोविटी टेक्नोलॉजीज के साथ सहयोग किया है। आरबीआई ने चार शहरों में खुदरा सीबीडीसी पायलट के पहले चरण को शुरू किया और पिछले साल के अंत में चार प्रमुख बैंकों को शामिल किया।

 

सीबीडीसी बैंक खाते की आवश्यकता के बिना डिजिटल भुगतान तक पहुंच प्रदान करने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभा सकता है और केंद्रीय बैंक द्वारा जारी डिजिटल वॉलेट द्वारा पहुंच की सुविधा प्रदान की जाएगी। ई-रुपये के उपयोग से अंतर-बैंक बाजार को और अधिक कुशल बनाने की उम्मीद है। आईसीआईसीआई बैंक और कोटक महिंद्रा बैंक सहित आठ बैंकों को इस पायलट परियोजना में अगल-अलग चरणों में भाग लेने के लिए चुना गया है।
