The RBI’s decision means that banks will no longer clear transactions to purchase or sell bitcoins through their payment systems. Exchanges that allow users to buy and sell virtual currencies through bank accounts will have to stop doing that.

People who hold bitcoins can choose to retain them but won’t be able to convert it into rupees or trade in the Indian currency.
Domestic exchanges like Koinex and WazirX are banking on peer-to-peer trade without using banking channels.

On one hand the world is looking positively into the cryptocurrencies and blockchain, they want to regulate it for the best use. Contrary to that India still wants to left behind, this is a new revolution and India can step up and prove itself to world by accepting blockchain and crypto, they can make a proper framework and regulations but instead decisions like this which are the reason why India is far behind compared to the modern world countries.
