There may be a returning point after succeeding towards demonetisation . The government publishes money, bad guys copy it . The government tries to demonetise the country, bad guys hack it ! What I believe is electronic transfer is more secure as it can not be copied . I do not have any idea whether Technical Giants like "Anonymous" can hack these things or not however I know Anonymous is on +ve side .

It's a whole new world. Public and private chains galore!
That's true. Government will play a vital role to set the ball rolling. Will need to wait to check how they bring in policies for such currency in place. Will they give the nod to go ahead or will they curb it?
Sorry but blockchains were invented by bitcoin.
Also there is nothing for banks to look at in the "blockchain tech" since it is only effective in decentralised scenario;
In a centralised scenario blockchains are worse ( slower and expensive) than traditional systems.

The govt can maybe play a role in short term (a decade maybe at max?) but in the long term cryptocurrencies are beyond govt control..Well anything which govt cannot control or keep a trap of it do you think they would not like to put a ban on it. And once the ban comes in then you trade or buy/sell that is though illegal means. Need to wait and watch out for.
Lack of trading is actually good for the bitcoin ecosystem as trading has nothing to do with bitcoin. People will then directly earn and spend (and not buy and sell) bitcoins. The government cannot ban internet, govt cannot ban speech - bitcoin works even without computers.

Sadly, bankchain is just a money-grab by various so called blockchain innovation companies like Primechain, IBM and KPMG, none of which have ANY innovation to offer.
Also, Indian banks in association with tech companies published a whitepaper full of technical mistakes.
Anyways, as Raghuram Rajan said, bankers will have to find a new job in 10 years, so I expect them to try to hijack the blockchain buzzword but sorry, they won't be able to control or ride the decentralization wave that is coming...

what if this so called "bankchain" started taking money as wd fee like blockchain does and don't you think Govt. intelligence services keeping an eye on all the transactions. Also its easy to put just once virus or find to some back door entry to grab everyone's money.
As far as wd fees are concerned then it is going to happen. Bank transactions will be monitored by Govt that is how bankchaing is being modified. In bankchain system anonymity might not be available. For bankchain that feature is not required or let's say it is less desirable. If putting virus in bankchain or backdoor was so easy then banks might not have thought about investing in blockchain. How many instances of virus attack damaging blockchain have been observed so far? none. Has anyone reported backdoor in blockchain? None. Blockchain is transparent network. If grabing everyone's money was so easy with one virus or backdoor then hackers/crackers might had already done that. Has it happened? no. At maximum some accounts gets hacked which most of time fault of account holder and not bank security.

The State Bank of India(SBI) is taking major lead in adopting blockchain technology in financial banking related solution on wide-spread. Other banks like ICICI HDFC, Axis, Kotak Mahindra etc are participant. Technical companies like IBM, Microsoft and KPMG etc will be involved from technical perspective. Apparently they are calling it as bankchain there version of blockchain.
It is showing how much serious approach towards blockchain adoption.

PS: Adoption of blockchain has nothing to do with adoption of bitcoin.
