The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued several warnings about the use of cryptocurrencies. The central bank has explained that these virtual currencies are not legal tender and they cannot be used as a means of payment or stored value. However, people who buy or sell such currencies are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to their local police stations immediately.
The RBI also added that cryptocurrency exchanges should be registered with them so that they can monitor their operations more closely and ensure that customers are not being duped into buying products which don’t actually exist in reality (like Bitcoin).
Conclusion
In India, cryptocurrency has been used for a variety of purposes, from facilitating international trade and remittances to facilitating tax evasion. However, there are also risks associated with its use in these areas as well.
