I made an account yesterday. The e₹ can be used only at merchants who  is accept e₹. They have a special QR code for that. or otherwise can be transacted with other user. None of the people I know are using it.

The design of eRupee notes are nice and looks like an NFT

Just a question, what difference is between money in Paytm wallet and money in Digital Rupee wallet ?

ICICI was sending such invites around 2 months back on a pan India basis. You have to "load" i.e transfer money from your savings account to digital rupee wallet for operating it.

Uncalled for nuisance imho.

I also have received invitation from ICICI bank today. It's nice initiatives to transact online which gives feeling of transacting actual currency, without fear of fake notes... 

It may take time to get it going..
