Is bitcoin legally recognized by the Indian Central Bank?

As far as I know bitcoin becoming recognized by the indian bank , but still not implementing bitcoin and yet it's not ban that's the common misunderstanding on some that they think bitcoin ban in india , no it's not. Here is some prove feel free to look at. The government is still talking about bitcoin , they just afraid because of the bad image of bitcoin , they just spreading awareness for the people of india who's been investing on bitcoin.

Firstly ,bitcoin trading is not regulated in India. So, just like SEBI regulates the stock market, there is no entity which regulates Bitcoin trading. While this makes it risky to trade in bitcoin, it sure doesn’t make it illegal as no law prohibits Indians from trading in bitcoin.

Bitcoin is neither legal nor it is banned in India. Digital payments are all of the rage in India right now. That isn’t surprising, given last year’s demonetization efforts. Companies such as Zebpay, Coinsecure, Unocoin, and others are all competing for the top position. That is a positive sign, as it may hint at future Bitcoin adoption throughout the country. That will mainly hinge on the new regulations being handed down by the government, though. Indian citizens are certainly bullish on Bitcoin right now. This is not a big surprise, given the recent price trend for the world’s leading cryptocurrency. Moreover, it is not just the average consumer getting interested in Bitcoin. We also see high net worth individuals in India favor for the world’s leading cryptocurrency these days. It is evident Bitcoin is a great investment tool for anyone on the planet.

BTC Legal Status is yet not clear in INDIA. But many INDIANS are getting into crypto-market nowadays. Seeing the popularity of BTC, Supreme court of India instructed Govt and banks to take reasonable steps to regulate BTC. Let's see what step Indian Govt take in order to regulate BTC, and will these steps able to protect BTC users interest in every way.

Supreme court has given clear instruction they should regulate it and if government finding it difficult or cannot regulate it they will have to ban it. There is no other alternative to it. So what will happen is that if they ban it and still they want to make use of this technology govt may bring their own coin and which would be only legal in India then.

I can’t make judgement now as there is always bad and good news about the standing of cryptocurrency in that country.. And that is normal as most of the time,, it happens throughout each country.. But sooner that the government or the influential Indian people would realized that bitcoin can give more of advantages to them is better.. I know that there is massive bitcoin users in that country that profiting from it.. It might take time but it will soon be legalized in that country and I’m positive about it..

Bitcoin status in India is up in the air so to speak. But unlike Russia, India has been pretty much consistent with their statement with bitcoin. There are lawmakers who truly opposed bitcoin, but there are also a lot of financial institutions who wants Indian government to recognized it. But as far as I'm concerned, they haven't deny nor confirm it yet. Maybe they are really divided as to what to announcement. And to think that they are not yet illegal their, you will see that the price of bitcoin is high or at a premium price. So imagine what will be the price of it once the government has finally legalized it or put a regulation on bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

No, bitcoin is not legally recognized by the Central Bank of India. And they will not make legal bitcoin as money in the near future. But bitcoin Exchange is legal . Gov is working with some Institute to track the bitcoin transaction and gov want to regulate the bitcoin but they have no intention to put a ban on it.

As of now, bitcoins are not yet legal in India. Reserve bank of India has already warned the people to invest into bitcoins on their own risk and there are minimum chances for legalization of bitcoins.

Talking about legality of bitcoin in India, it is not yet confirmed or even there is no news about the topic . It is neither completely legal nor completely illegal in India . There may be some announcement in next year about the topic but still no heads up in any news. Still i think it is really important that bitcoin gets legal in as many countries as possible so there will be more stability and reliability on the currency. I think looking at the market status and growth of bitcoin India will eventually make it legal , may be they will have some rules and regulations .

Bitcoin is not legal in India and the Indian Central Bank warn the people of not using any digital currencies at the moment while the government is continue evaluating the digital currency in which they will regulate it very carefully to ensure that safety of the use of this currency in the future therefore you should wait for a while until it can be declared legally to use.

Indian Central Bank or Reserve Bank of India is absolutely silent regarding any issue about bitcoin. They neither banning it nor supporting it. The trend is such that they have not even been able to draft a law for its regulation or taxation. This makes me quite dubious about future of bitcoin in India. It being a quite fragile economy is absolutely not in a condition to promote BTC. Still worried what will I do if it is banned.

True! We haven't yet heard anything from our Central Bank or the finance ministry yet on bitcoin. Which makes bitcoin's legal status unclear in India. It's neither legal nor illegal. It's good till the time they stay neutral, because if they start thinking about bitcoin, most likely it will be banned because our Central Bank runs under political pressure. Also we will see a lot of pressures coming from the commercial banks supporting the ban. So till the time they are silent, it's good for us.

Their is still no law that justifies the legality of Bitcoin in India.We have still no answer that whether Bitcoin is legal or illegal in India.But it is said that a decision will be taken regarding the legality of Bitcoin in the coming month of April. Bitcoin is a type of crypto currency that has a lot of potential to improve the economy of India.So it is better for Indian government to declare it as legal by imposing some regulations instead of declaring it as illegal. Bitcoin has the caliber to help the Prime Minister of India to achieve his aim of making India a cashless country.

At present the matter had gone to Supreme Court and court has ordered the govt to either regulate this currency or else ban it. If govt finds it difficult to regulate it so they are left with no other option but will be banning it. Also they may then bring their own coin which would be only legal.

It's not illegal there. Reserve bank of India is not going to regulate Bitcoin, they stated But you can't expect central banks to be friendly to bitcoin. There's still chances that they implement a total ban to Bitcoin. https://www.google.com.ph/amp/s/inc42.com/buzz/cryptocurrency-bitcoin-india-cme-group/amp/. Anyway, bitcoin adoption there still small. So government should not alert by Bitcoin there. India just launched their own exchange. This is a good sign.

After the collapse of 30% last week, bitcoin over the past few days has grown by 33%. That was promoted by growth of demand on stock exchanges of India, the second country on a population number in the world. And it happened after the government of India recognized bitcoin as legal currency in their country.The efforts of bitcoin-exchanges in India on market self-regulation allowed the Indian government to reconsider sectors of bitcoin and digital currencies, despite the criticism of a number of politicians who don't have enough knowledge about the crypto currency ....
Despite the negative attitude of some politicians, the government of India has come to a decision on the future regulation of the market and ensuring equal conditions for bitcoin-exchanges, which have allocated a significant amount of resources for standardizing the market and industry ...
