Agree with dabsV12 on this. The helplessness is palpable. Authorities here are intent on outlawing every other crypto other than the state backed one: https://qz.com/india/1418897/after-strangling-bitcoin-india-may-launch-its-own-cryptocurrency/
From the article: What’s worse is that the government may also kill or ban the existence of other digital currencies if a government-backed cryptocurrency is rolled out.
“The panel is also discussing amendment of the Currency Act to make possession of any cryptocurrency, not approved by the government, a punishable offence,” said the government official.
Funny thing is the authorities invited crypto exchange reps to learn about crypto and then stopped banking services to them. We are now in the august company of only two other countries that are planning to or have already implemented a state-backed crypto, Venezuela and Iran. And just like always we will look on while the rest of the world progresses.

India, as a country with a high level of development of the IT industry, constantly shows new results on working with blockchain technology. The capital city of the Indian state of Telangana will be a blockchain district. In addition, in September last year, the state authorities of Andhra Pradesh announced the conclusion of an agreement with a company that provides cybersecurity WISeKey to protect the data of Indian citizens using the technology of blockchain. Recently, the Reserve Bank of India has formed a new unit to study new technologies, including blockchain, cryptocurrency, and artificial intelligence.

Aren't they also planning on releasing a national crypto or something along the lines of that?
Seems like the government of India is currently interested in blockchain, but yet, they're not supportive of bitcoin at all which makes no sense.
Their policy of restricting banks from dealing with bitcoin businesses simply don't make sense to me while they are trying to adopt all this blockchain technology into corporations and a national crypto. I understand that they're trying to take the centralised route of development, but not accepting decentralised cryptos into their economy will only mean that they themselves lose out in the long run.
it's India, maaan
you can do both at the same time! Ban cryptos, make only your state's Lakshmi crypto legal and viola!
your citizens are offered the vast choice of cryptos - your national crypto or your national crypto! YAY!
This idea seems to be utter shit? That is not likely to happen?
Actually, this is the plan.
