The IndusInd Bank successfully executed the RBI’s programmable Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) as pilot mode.
This involved an alternate form of CBDC wherein the bank can program the end use of funds, specifically targeting farmers for carbon credit generation.
The Bank had initiated the programmable CBDC disbursement to 50 farmers in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra and will cover around 1,000 farmers going ahead.
It is marking a milestone in the adoption of innovative financial solutions for the agriculture sector.
