Yes !! RBI excluded crypto and related services from testing.

It seems RBI and Indian Government is in favour of blockchain technology but also afraid from Cryptocurrency. Hopefully research is still going on and need some more time to regulate in INDIA.

Quite an expected outcome! Whatever goes beyond their understanding, will be banned and punitive measures will be implemented. That's a straight forward policy of Indian Central Bank and government. **Sarcastic Clap!!**
