Dates: the rule has been in force since 8 Jan 2026.

Virtual digital asset service providers have been reporting entities under the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act since a Ministry of Finance notification of 7 March 2023, and the Director of FIU-IND has been their designated anti-money-laundering regulator since 9 November 2023. Paragraph 7.4 of the FIU-IND AML and CFT Guidelines for these firms, updated on 8 January 2026, says they shall refrain from permitting deposits or withdrawals of anonymity-enhancing crypto tokens, shall treat dealings in them as not permissible and shall not facilitate such transactions. Paragraph 7.5 applies the same approach to transactions involving tumblers, mixers and other anonymity-enhancing services, which firms must detect and not facilitate. The guidelines bind registered service providers, including those based outside India, and contain no rule on individuals holding privacy coins in their own wallets. WazirX's public market API, fetched on 13 October 2026, still marks its XMR/USDT, ZEC/INR and ZEC/USDT pairs as trading and does not show whether deposits and withdrawals of these coins are open.

Instrument: FIU-IND AML and CFT Guidelines for Reporting Entities Providing Services Related to Virtual Digital Assets (updated 8 January 2026), paragraphs 7.4 and 7.5

Exchanges and their restrictions

The 14 exchanges on this site, with the 32 spot markets they list for the seven coins, as checked on 13 Oct 2026. The exchange data records where each listing is restricted as text, so this page quotes each passage that names India, and marks the cells it comes from. An exchange with no such passage has no restriction for India on record here, which does not mean that it is licensed there or open to its residents. A listing is not an endorsement.

Self-hosted wallets for the seven coins

The nine wallets on the Wallets page that hold at least one of the seven coins, with the coins and platforms each supports. The wallet data does not record where each wallet is offered, so this list is the same on every country page, and India's own rules, set out above, apply to their use. A listing is not an endorsement.
