While it is not legal tender, transactions and investments are not banned or prohibited by the central authority in India.

Also, Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is not accepted as legal tender money in the Indian economy by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).  

However, as per the standard law created by the Income-tax department, all the incomes generated by an individual irrespective of the sources it comes from are considered taxable, including the profits earned by Bitcoin transactions. Thus, you are liable to pay taxes to the government while holding, selling, or making transactions in Bitcoins or any other cryptocurrency. It will be taxed as your business income as per the rules of the Income Tax Department.

The growing number of cryptocurrency exchanges have made buying, selling, and investing in Bitcoins relatively simple and quick in the present market.
