RBI Notification On Cryptocurrency: Banks Cannot Stop Users From Investing In Crypto
June 1, 2021: Cryptocurrency in India : Over the past couple of months, many SBI and HDFC bank customers received warning emails from their respective banks that dealing with cryptocurrencies was illegal and that the customers’ accounts would be terminated if they continued dealing in cryptocurrencies, as many users had reported on Twitter.
However, yesterday, on May 31, the Reserve Bank of India put out an official statement clarifying that banks were using the old 2018 circular from the RBI to warn their customers. It was not applicable since the Supreme Court legalised cryptocurrencies in March 2020. Read on to know more about RBI’s new notification about banks and cryptocurrency in India.

RBI released the notification regarding banks dealing with cryptocurrencies. They announced that it had come to RBI’s attention that banks and financial institutions were warning their customers against using cryptocurrencies based on RBI’s ban on cryptocurrencies back in 2018. The notification also mentioned that the Supreme Court has since lifted the ban on March 4, 2020, and banks cannot legally warn or threaten their customers for using cryptocurrencies.
