There are many Indian Bitcoin exchanges in India but all of them require PAN or others documents to validate identity (Though. However, the Central Bank of India i.e. RBI has not given Bitcoin asthe status of a valid currency so the exchanges shouldn't ask for PAN Cards or other details but they still do.)
That's my other question, doesare these exchanges are authorized to ask for PAN Cardcard or Otherother documents to verify identity since I am paying through my Debit Carddebit card or Bank Accountbank cccount so additional verification should not be necessary.
DoesIs PAN Cardcard or IdentityID card verification is mandatory for buying BitcoinsBitcoin from exchanges in India, sinceeven through the RBI doesn'thasn't issued any such notification?
The is the only notification by the RBI related to Bitcoins thatBitcoin I amwas able to find is find: thishttps://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/BS_PressReleaseDisplay.aspx?prid=30247.
