Summary:
In this paper we study restricted Boolean rings and group rings. A ring $R$ is $\textit{restricted Boolean}$ if every proper homomorphic image of $R$ is boolean. Our main aim is to characterize restricted Boolean group rings. A complete characterization of non-prime restricted Boolean group rings has been obtained. Also in case of prime group rings necessary conditions have been obtained for a group ring to be restricted Boolean. A counterexample is given to show that these conditions are not sufficient.
