On 5th April 2018, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had banned banks from providing services to cryptocurrency related companies. Exchanges and funds were given a total of 90 days period to clear any outstanding balance. The deadline ends on 6th July.

Following the new regulations, exchanges in India took RBI to India’s Supreme court where they appealed to the government to “regulate” the exchanges but not ban. The Supreme court has kept the hearing for the date 20th July. Two weeks after the ban comes into effect.

Due to uncertainty regarding whether transactions will work after July 6th, Indian community leaders and exchanges have started taking various steps to ensure traders are well informed and transactions work as usual.

Here are a few steps that are taken by India’s leading exchanges to ensure smooth flow of business.
