Cryptocurrency: It is believed that RBI's private blockchain platform will be like Unified Payment Interface (UPI) which can be created by government and private companies according to their convenience. However, nothing much can be said about this right now because this idea is still in its early stages.
How will RBI's indigenous cryptocurrency work like cash, buy and sell on mobile app
India is also making big preparations on this amidst the hail of cryptocurrency in the world. It is certain that given the way the trend of cryptocurrency is increasing in the world, no country can turn its back on it. Just the way of adopting it can be different. Cryptocurrency is neither legal nor illegal in India right now. In view of this, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is coming up with its own digital currency. RBI has already said that work is going on on this.
How will India's first digital currency be, it is a matter of curiosity for everyone. As of now, most of the cryptocurrencies are free from banks, the entire transaction is done online, profit or loss is to be paid online. Cryptocurrency exists on the blockchain which has to be bought through an exchange. But the nature of India's crypto will be completely different from this. Firstly, it will be like cash which will be generated on a private blockchain. There will also be blockchain for buying and selling it, which will be regulated by the Reserve Bank.

In February, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das had said that the central bank is thinking of bringing cryptocurrency. At present, someone is considering bringing their own cryptocurrency. He had said that the native cryptocurrency would be different from other cryptos, but in terms of technology, all those cryptos would be competed. Das said that when the trend of cryptocurrency continues in the whole world, then India also wants to take full advantage of blockchain technology. It is believed that RBI's private blockchain platform will be like Unified Payment Interface (UPI) which can be created by government and private companies according to their convenience. However, nothing much can be said about this right now because this idea is still in its early stages.
Reserve Bank will control
The Reserve Bank wants to completely control the cryptocurrency market. This is not the case with other cryptocurrencies because they are not controlled by the central bank, not regulated by any bank. In such a situation, the source of money invested in cryptocurrency is not known. If there is any kind of embezzlement then it will be difficult to catch the culprit. Considering all these apprehensions, the Reserve Bank is moving ahead. Meanwhile, the government is about to bring a new cryptocurrency bill. There is also an opinion going on in the government that a committee should be formed to give recommendations regarding the regulation of cryptocurrency. Later, implementing it, digital currency should be given the green signal.
What is the government's preparation
If we look at the statements of the government in the past, it will be known that there has been a complete ban on cryptocurrency. But later it was said that many precautionary steps will be taken to regulate it properly so that the interest of the customers is not spoiled. The government has asked individual companies to provide information about their investments or dealings in cryptocurrencies. If we look at a circular of the Reserve Bank, it will be known that earlier it had asked payment companies, banks and non-banking financial companies not to transact in cryptocurrency as it is prohibited.
Recently, while rectifying it, this order was asked to be canceled. The Reserve Bank (RBI) had issued this circular on 6 April 2018. It said that companies under its regulation are prohibited from providing any kind of services related to cryptocurrency. In these, it was also asked to stop the amount coming into the accounts related to the purchase of crypto.
Meaning of RBI statement
Later, the Reserve Bank (RBI) corrected it and asked to accept this order as repealed. Recently, the Reserve Bank issued this circular to all commercial banks and co-operative banks, payment banks, small finance banks, non-banking financial companies and payment systems operators. The Reserve Bank said, however, that banks may continue with the investigation of customers under the Know Your Customer (KYC), Counter Funding of Terrorism (CFT) and Prevention of Money Laundering Act as a precautionary measure. This means that the RBI has not considered cryptocurrency illegal and has advised to keep in mind the rules of regulation in its transactions.
