What is digital rupee?
Digital Rupee is a central bank digital currency issued by the Reserve Bank of India. In simple language, it is the digital form of cash rupees.

What is the difference between UPI and digital rupee?
Now talking about the difference between UPI and digital rupee, the biggest difference is that UPI is a payment system, whereas digital rupee itself is a currency. When you send money to someone through UPI, the money goes from your bank account to the other person’s bank account. At the same time, in digital rupee, the money from the bank account first comes to the digital wallet and then from there it is transferred to the digital wallet of another person. Meaning it is just like a cash transaction.
How does it work?
To use digital rupee, you need a digital rupee wallet of a bank which is linked to this project of RBI. Digital rupees are loaded into the wallet from the bank account. After this, digital money can be sent by scanning the QR code or directly to another wallet.
