ATM in India is established only with RBI's permission.

I wish there was a Bitcoin ATM in India. Not just in the two cities mentioned but all over India. Lets face it, Bitcoin adoption is extremely slow in India due to our inherent nature to play it safe all the time and BTC volatility does not help matters. BTC technologically is also very advanced for an average Indian to understand. When you talk about remittances, i think its not much help, coz there is fees involved when converting BTC to Fiat, so its really additional cost and hassle (ofc lesser cost than a bank transfer maybe!). BTC ATMs can come up only if people adopt BTC as a form of payment and not measure it in Rupees or Dollars. 1 BTC = 1 BTC and not 1 BTC = XXXXX Rupees. The day people realize this and see it for what it really is (a Currency in its own right), ATMs will be pretty common imo! My 2 satoshi.

Please don't rush with decision of buying machine. First thing you must worry about is regulation. You'll need to take permission from government. I don't know how ATM's are sanctioned. Previously I believed it to some task reserved for banks until I discovered ATM by Tata. I'll tell you procedure after conducting research. If you're successful in establishing one, how you plan to provide liquidity?

Again the case of uncertainty ..! does anyone still know where RBI stands on BITCOIN ..? If ever one even gets the permission to setup a bitcoin ATM in India there are lots of other things to consider as mentioned above most people here likes to play safe or technically not that advanced to understand it, but it will surely help bitcoin to get the required attention ..! Even if it takes some 5 years to setup 1st BTC ATM in India I'll call it a win..!

The machines are very nice looking, can easily fit near a counter.
Main problem right now would be regulations, and I think its some way off to being cleared.

Does the Indian Government legally recognize "BTC" within its "currency" gauge? If it doesn't then is this RBI policy applicable? Can Bitcoin ATM's be thought as vending machines? I believe there would be no policies guarding that.

Would love to provide you with a legal opinion on the same. Did some research initially but then got occupied with millibits. Let me know if you require a proper legal opinion on the same. Regards -- Kanishk Agarwal Advocate CriTaxCorp Criminal-Taxation-Corporate www.critaxcorp.com+919971666252

RBI hasn't explicitly come out with regulations on crypto-currencies, but in December 2013 they did come out with a press release cautioning investors. http://rbi.org.in/scripts/BS_PressReleaseDisplay.aspx?prid=30247Since the policy talks about virtual currencies, I guess you can't think of it as a bitcoin vending machine. Moreover, if it is a 2 way machine (Cash --> bitcoin and bitcoin --> cash), I guess compliance with KYC/AML clauses would have to be even more stringent. We already had Enforcement Directorate raids on exchanges last year, to check whether they were violating foreign exchange / anti money laundering laws. So I guess people will be more cautious about setting up bitcoin ATMs in India.
