i don't see any local bitcoins going on properly everyone are making scam and they are taking the advantage of crypto ban in india how long will the ban continues.....
Better to avoid it when you know that nowdays it is scam because losing money unnecessarily is not recommended and also when it is hard earned and it get scammed it hurts a lot. So better to stay away and try to see if locally in your area you know who can buy /sell for you.
I dont see any problem in using localbitcoins site, they have a good escrow system though which you wont be getting scammed if you properly trade. I am doing trading for past 2+ years and never had problem.
