Use of India's CBDC declines, but central bank presses ahead

CBDC will be successful with two way interoperability with UPI

Currently, interoperability of CBDC with UPI exists, but in only one direction. CBDC users can pay to UPI QR, but a UPI user can not pay directly to CBDC QR code. CBDC makes sense for a merchant only if he can accept payment in his CBDC wallet from any UPI app of paying customers.
