    Solution

    The RBI has roped in at least five banks to work with it on a pilot project for its digital currency -- the Digital Rupee for the retail market. these banks are State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, IDFC First Bank and HDFC Bank. The RBI is working on two fronts to test the central bank digital currency (CBDC): one for the wholesale market, and the other for retail (CBDC-R).
