"Distributed Ledger System on the Blockchain Technology, allows organisation of any chain of records or transactions without the need of intermediateries.
The government does not consider Cryptocurrencies as legal tender or coin. And will take all measures to eliminate the use of these crypto assets in financing illegitamate activities or as a part of the payment system.
The government will explore use of blockchain technology proactively for ushering in a digital economy."
hopefully the information you give is true because I heard a few days ago the government of India banned the use of bitcoin, and now the government started to explore blockchain technology for the engagement in india hopefully this could be the trigger of the bitcoin price increase.
