A.I would beg to differ from my other fellow learned brothers on this point. Going by the current regulations and notifications by the RBI and banking regulators cryptocurrencies are not recognized in India and almost kind of illegal to operate it in India. The Reserve Bank of India had categorically said that no Indian bank should honour and support the transactions related to cryptocurrencies.
Having said that they have not said whether you can do or not and operation of such kind of business has not been given any colour or qualifications of being legal or otherwise. Since there are no proper guidelines and Indian regulators are wary about so it is advised that you weigh all your options before you venture out. This business of cryptocurrency and bitcoin may be declared as illegal in India in future.

Please find the RBI notification on Cryptocurreny dated April 6 2018

RBI/2017-18/154 DBR. No.BP.BC. 104/08.13.102/2017-18 April 6, 2018
