The RBI Governor also said that although the central bank has not intervened in the crypto-currencies, it has been watching them carefully.

"I would like to say that our philosophy is if it is small then let it develop, let us see how it works and then take a view. That was our attitude towards crypto-currencies. It was very very small," he said.

Yes, they did come out with  a warning once.
When they do come out with a whitepaper/opinion on cryptos, I hope they call for public comments to it.
