How To Buy Bitcoin with Cash In India
It is obvious that buying Bitcoin is confusing for beginners. This is a general issue but when it comes to India then there are certain other things that get included. RBI (Reserve bank of India) ordered to stop dealing with cryptocurrencies on 6th April 2018 but the same was amended by Supreme Court on 4th March 2020.
According to SC the circular issued by RBI was unconstitutional. So, the Bitcoin plot remained uncertain but now things are back on track and it is possible to buy Bitcoin in India. CoinDCX is the first exchange which is based in Mumbai that has integrated direct bank transfers.
Buy Bitcoin using Bank Account
You can buy/ sell Bitcoin in India using below exchanges. All you need is a Bank account. Make sure some exchanges ask for KYC before you buy bitcoin from them and all your purchases are monitored by IT Department.
- Wazirx
- Huobi

- Zebpay
The above-mentioned exchanges also provide bank transfers and provide deposit facilities as well. Please make sure that you don’t leave a large amount of Bitcoin in exchanges. In the past, many bitcoin exchanges were hacked and users have lost all their investment. We recommend you to use a hardware wallet like trezor or ledger nano S or paper wallet to secure your bitcoin.
Buy Bitcoin Using Cash
There are 2 popular platforms to buy bitcoin using cash or direct bank deposit and this does not involve exchange. If you buy bitcoin from the exchange then you need to send money to exchange and exchange will credit money in your exchange account and you can purchase bitcoin directly from the market.
