A central bank digital currency (CBDC) can play a key role in providing access to digital payments without the requirement of a bank account and the access would be facilitated by a central bank-issued digital wallet, said industry stakeholders. The rollout of the e-rupee has been one of the most sought-after developments, since its announcement in the FY23 Union budget. Jaya <keyword id="3655832" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="vaidhyanathan" source="Orion">Vaidhyanathan</keyword>, CEO of BCT Digital, said that the <keyword id="30067" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rbi" source="Orion">RBI</keyword>'s commencement of the pilot of the digital rupee marks appreciable progress in the journey toward digital payments. "The initiative has started in the low volume, high-value wholesale (interbank) segment from where learnings would be used to roll out reliable, built-to-scale retail payments," said Vaidhyanathan. The pilot announcement involves nine banks, including the SBI, the Bank of Baroda, the HDFC Bank, the Yes Bank, the Kotak Mahindra Bank, and the ICICI Bank, settling secondary market transactions in government securities, thereby reducing settlement risk and transaction costs. "A successful pilot and by extension, a full rollout of the digital rupee is expected to boost the reach of payment and financial needs of a wider category of users while ensuring transparency and low operational cost, and in this regard, it is encouraging to witness the RBI's support for innovation in creating a world-class, future-ready digital ecosystem," Vaidhyanathan stressed. India has one of the most technologically-evolved currencies in the world, and the e-rupee will put it in the forefront of true digital payments and improve financial inclusion. "The popularity of a digital rupee backed by the RBI will help bring legitimacy to other private digital currency like crypto. While we wait for clarity on how it is implemented, it is a positive step towards the acceptance of digital currency," said <keyword id="219963" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="prashant-kumar" source="Orion">Prashant Kumar</keyword>, Founder and CEO at weTrade. According to Arjun Khazanchi, Co-Founder and Chief Legal and Strategy Officer at Rooba.Finance, the CBDC is an ambitious project where the government has been silently working to disrupt the financial system which has traditionally been opaque, cash dependent, and highly-inefficient. "The first use case is going to be for the secondary market transactions in government securities. This move may even boost liquidity, remove inefficient and redundant processes while reducing transaction costs. This would also enable increased transparency between the participants," Khazanchi contended. Through this, the government expects to also be able to reduce settlement risk which is one of the biggest use cases for Blockchain in financial markets. There are some fears regarding the privacy and overt control that the government may possess over the CBDCs. "However, some commentary may be over exaggerated with intent being presumed. Retail CBDC is still far away and would require a lot of education and technical training before being imposed," said Khazanchi. The CBDCs could help preserve the role of public fiat in monetary policy, securing central banks' role in protecting financial stability in their markets. It provides a public, digital alternative to cash and private digital money. According to <keyword id="181738" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="manish-sharma" source="Orion">Manish Sharma</keyword>, Founding Partner of Centricity Wealth Tech, the CBDCs can play a key role in providing access to digital payments without the requirement of a bank account. "Public-private partnerships will be essential to the success of a CBDC launch, enabling central banks to leverage established infrastructure and client relationships. Such alliances will help central banks implement use cases aligned with end-user needs, complementing their gaps in capabilities and knowledge of consumption habits, particularly in a retail scenario," <keyword id="445" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="sharma" source="Orion">Sharma</keyword> said. By engaging commercial banks and other private stakeholders (technology enablers, merchants, users) in the launch process, central banks will also foster a broader sense of ownership, manage fears of displacement, and increase the probability of successful adoption. Mahesh Shukla, CEO and Founder, PayMe India, said the RBI is further looking forward to focus on other wholesale transactions and cross-border payment, which can be projected as steps to ease the ways of financing for the general public.

Indian e-rupee to boost digital payments sans bank accounts, say industry stakeholders

New Delhi, Mar 19 () As banking services resuming fully at Yes Bank, administrator Prashant Kumar on Thursday once again assured depositors about the safety of their money and said there is ample liquidity with the bank. Kumar is the MD and CEO designate of the reconstructed Yes Bank. The banking services resumed at 6 pm on March 18, 2020, and customers were able to get full services by visiting the branches from March 19, 2020. "The bank has ample liquidity and there is no need to depend on external sources," Kumar said in a statement. Bank branches will open one hour earlier at 8.30 am from March 19 to 21, 2020, so as to serve the customers better. The bank has also extended banking hours across branches for its senior citizen customers, from March 19 to March 27, 2020 - 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm. "Yes Bank has taken adequate measures to restore banking services and ensured that the branches and ATMs have adequate supply of cash. However, there is no need to need for customers to rush for withdrawals and there is absolutely no issue on the liquidity front," Kumar said. Rajnish Kumar, Chairman, State Bank of India (SBI) said that the state-run lender will not sell even a single share of the 49 per cent stake it has picked up in Yes Bank before the three-year lock-in period. As part of the credible and sustainable reconstruction plan, an eight-member consortium led by SBI has collectively invested more than Rs 10,000 crore in Yes Bank. Kumar, a former SBI official, also said that the moratorium on the lender has been lifted in 13 days because of support from the government, RBI and other financial institutions. Besides, rating agency Moody's has also upgraded Yes Bank's long-term foreign currency issuer and foreign currency senior unsecured bond programme. Its credit outlook has been changed to positive.

Yes Bank administrator Prashant Kumar reassures safety of deposits

New Delhi, Mar 16 () Yes Bank on Monday said it has approved reconstitution of its board with Prashant Kumar as the new MD &amp; CEO. Kumar, former chief financial officer and deputy managing director of State Bank of India, is currently overseeing the troubled private sector lender as RBI-appointed administrator. The other board members will be Sunil Mehta, former non-executive chairman of Punjab National Bank, as the non executive chairman of Yes Bank, Mahesh Krishnamurthy and Atul Bheda as non-executive directors. SBI will have the right to nominate two directors on the board of directors of Yes Bank. "The reconstitution of the board of directors of the Bank as set out, shall take effect immediately after the expiry of seven calendar days from the date of cessation of the moratorium in accordance with paragraph 11 of the Scheme," Yes Bank said in a regulatory filing undersigned by the bank's administrator Kumar. The administrator has been appointed by the Reserve Bank of India under Section 36ACA(2) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 with effect from March 6, 2020. The affairs, business and property of Yes Bank are currently managed by Kumar. Yes Bank said it has also amended the memorandum and articles of association of YES Bank Limited to reflect the application provisions of the Reconstruction Scheme. The moratorium on Yes Bank, placing a withdrawal limit of Rs 50,000 on deposits, is to be lifted by 6 PM on March 18, 2020 which is much before the original date of April 3. The bank on March 5 was put under moratorium by RBI due to serious financial mismanagement under its former MD &amp; CEO Rana Kapoor, who currently is in the custody of probe agencies, as well as failure to raise enough capital to keep afloat. The board of the bank was superseded with immediate effect, and other financial activities such as granting new loans, investment, among others, were also curbed. As per the bank's rescue plan outlined by RBI, SBI will have a stake of 49 per cent in Yes Bank through capital infusion of Rs 7,250 crore. Private lenders ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IDFC First Bank, Bandhan Bank, Federal Bank and mortgage lender HDFC Ltd have also infused capital in cash-strapped Yes Bank. KPM RVK

<ul><li>YES Bank is looking to hire after its workforce shrank by 1,000 employees since March. </li><li>The private sector bank is mostly looking to hire for digital, marketing and credit underwriting. </li><li>In an exclusive interview with Business Insider, <keyword id="2643328" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Yes-Bank-CEO">YES Bank CEO</keyword> and MD Prashant Kumar shares what the bank is looking for in its hunt for new talent.</li></ul>The number of total employees at YES Bank has come down by almost 1,000 since March, but that is at par with the private sector entity’s natural rate of attrition seen every year. The good news is that it's on the hunt for new talent with an impetus on digitalisation, marketing and credit underwriting. “Wherever there is a shortage, we are hiring,” said YES Bank’s CEO and Managing Director Prashant Kumar in an exclusive interaction with Business Insider on a #HangoutwithBI Twitter live. The dip in the bank’s workforce was not because of layoffs, but because people had quit voluntarily. “Some of them had put in their papers in early 2020. We did not replace them,” said Kumar. According to him, YES Bank is now looking to push on digitisation, which has become more relevant in the COVID-19 era. “We have tried to streamline processes. With less number of workforce, we’re able to do more,” he said. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; width: 468pt; table-layout: fixed;"></colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Transactions </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Percentage </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Digital channels </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">90% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Bank branches </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">10% </td></tr></tbody></table> YES Bank also pivoted to adopt a method to digitally onboarding customers, both in terms of liabilities and on the loan side, due to COVID-19. “Customers can open a digital account through video KYC. With very few employees and small costs we are able to acquire,” said Kumar. YES Bank is hiring Most companies, YES Bank included, weren’t too aggressive about hiring when the coronavirus pandemic initially broke. The reason YES Bank is back on the wagon is that it wants to grow and have the right people in place before the next financial year kicks off. “Hiring is something that takes a little bit of time in terms of getting the right kind of person, onboarding, and getting the person ready for the specific role,” explained Kumar. Employment opportunities and job vacancies at the bank can be found on its <a href="https://www.yesbank.in/work-with-us/career-opportunities">official website</a>.

Bank's CEO Prashant Kumar on Monday said that the ratio of the bank's loan book was inclined more towards corporate loans, with the corporate to retail loan ratio of 55 per cent to 45 per cent. "We would like to change this mix and have corporate share at 40 per cent and retail and MSME at 60 per cent over a period of time. We would like to grow at the rate of 20 per cent on the retail and MSME side," Kumar said. The corporate vertical will focus more on growing asset -- light businesses like providing digital and transaction solutions to corporates. The CEO of the restructured bank said that the lender will only pause lending in the segment. He, however, said that the lower end of the corporate loan portfolio will continue in terms of loan growth. Kumar told the media that deposits have increased of late and in April the bank witnessed the highest number of fixed deposits in the past one year. On the upcoming further public offering (<keyword id="46435" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="FPO">FPO</keyword>), he said the issue will increase the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET) capital ratio from current 6.3 per cent to almost 13 per cent, which will give a buffer of 500 basis points over the regulatory minimum requirement. The bank will use the proceeds of the FPO largely as a buffer. The bank's FPO with an aim to raise up to Rs 15,000 crore will open on July 15 and close on July 17.
