The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) released a booklet named ‘Payment and Settlement Systems in India’ on Monday, “Entities are being encouraged to develop offline payment solutions, and a pilot scheme in this regard was rolled out in August 2020. The pilot scheme is being undertaken till March 31, 2021, and based on experience gained, a decision will be taken on roll-out of the scheme,”

Though the central bank had banned banking services to crypto companies earlier, a Supreme court ruling overturned it last year.
