"We are excited for RBI to leverage the present-day best practices and the best of innovation from across the world with the latest version of our award winning central banking solution. It has been an honour for us to see our partnership with the Reserve Bank of India grow rapidly over the years. The collaboration, which began in 2011, and bagged accolades such as the Asian Banker ‘Best Central Bank Technology Project’ award along the way, is set to become even stronger with the implementation of our QCBS upgrade,” he added.
One of the largest and most complex central banks in the world with a balance sheet size of Rs 57,076.69 billion, the entire central banking operation of RBI is currently being supported by Intellect’s Quantum Central Banking Solution, popularly called as e-Kuber in RBI, Government of India and in the Indian Financial Systems.

With the launch of the Digital India initiative by the government, various direct benefit schemes of the government, digital payments, GSTN & other varied monetary policy implementations, RBI transaction volumes are expected to grow several fold over the next decade.
e-Kuber 2.0 has to be designed and engineered to support this growth, said the company in the press release
RBI will deploy the entire QCBS platform-with API first micro-services architecture-on a cutting-edge large scale private cloud enabling a contextual modern user experience. Intellect will also provide a new Government Portal for govt entities with real time multi-dimensional dashboards along with modernising the existing commercial banking portal.
