really sad to hear that..I am also an indian boy just I am of 17+ so I don't have documents to make a bank account but I have made my own ways to keep my life comfortable.I am a localbitcoin user so I always suggest to use it

This! Bitcoin was invented to eliminate such barriers and authorities, be it even tech-savvy authorities like the US or China, cannot regulate bitcoin. It is technically not possible.

But my brother, this thread is not about that. This thread is specifically about BTCXIndia.

What's the meaning of this "but it seems this is a general policy in India as of today." ? A bad news for all bitcoiners in India.

That is a misleading statement.

yes it actually seems fishy. Maybe they are shutting down due to something else and putting the blame on the banks.
Sometimes there will be multiple reasons.

This is very sad but at the same time the abrupt nature of this announcement makes me skeptic.
Can someone from BTCXIndia throw light on what they did to resist this?

This statement on their website is very lame : "We have investigated the possibility to operate through other banks, but it seems this is a general policy in India as of today."

You will close down your business because "it seems"? And not even try to reach out to others in the domain?

I would expect, no one will misunderstand the current happenings as authoritive pressure against Bitcoin. It is as simple as survival of the banks and I believe BTCXIndia did not explore all banking alternatives. In any case, bitcoin users in general DO NOT need to panic. There are always direct trading alternatives like www.LocalBitcoins.com or www.100bit.co.in, where banks can not do anything. Shutting down of real time exchanges will at most hurt the INR-bitcoin traders, which I believe is a very small community. All the big traders have account in foreign exchanges and they'll remain unaffected. No entrepreneurship venture should be affected by this as changing bitcoin to FIAT is still as easy as before.

Quite shocking. One of the best sites shutting down. If banks are not comfortable then is it Coinsecure & Unocoin also shutting its operations in coming days?

Coinsecure will not be shutting down.
We have confirmed this with our banks as well.

This is bad news all around. Bitcoin is not illegal in the country. The powers that be must see this as a real threat.
