The stance still remains unchanged as it was earlier. And given Mr. Modi is as pro towards digital things, it was never going to be any other way. Government wants to adopt blockchain and does not want cryptocurrencies to finance criminal activities. I think that's as fair as they can be. Unless you are engaged in wrongful activities or not paying taxes, you should be just fine.

In India, you can very safely ignore MSM (mainstream media). They are more bothered about their revenues and TRPs. They are the biggest FUDers on earth.
