Topic: Guide: How to buy Bitcoins in India? (Read 1310 times)
Coinsecure is no more responding. I think local-bitcoins is the best and easy way to buy Bitcoins. Now Blockchain is tied-up with Unocoin to expand their services in India.
I'm currently excited about Bitbay. Not sure when they are going to go live in India.
Koinex review link added, will review remitano soon.
I think you should mention Remitano to your list.
Remitano have not heard about this site before. Can you share your experience if you had bought/sold any with them. Also is it India based site or international and do they accept INR as a payment mode?
Also looking at the site does not seems to be professional and will not recommend this to anyone for now.
You can buy bitcoin through Flitpay bitcoin wallet and get 10% cashback to buy bitcoin.
The best recommended international exchange you haven't even mentioned - CEX
I think you should mention Remitano to your list.
Sure I will check it and add it to the list, thanks 
You can also share your positive or negative experiences with different exchanges or traders
I think you should mention Remitano to your list.
You can also use paypal to buy with the people in this forum, but my instruction takes quite a long time
Earlier there were not many options to buy Bitcoins in India but now many options are available to buy bitcoins and altcoins in India through fiat money.Let me tell you all the options I know along with the pros and cons I found.
