As an augmentation to that, it had halted Indian banks from offering the types of assistance.

We have hailed certain significant worries to the public authority," Das had said.
The national bank, on its part, is fostering its own computerized cash, however, it will probably require years.
"As the basic innovation is as yet creating, we are investigating ways for a reasonable, safe and lawfully certain settlement conclusion, which is generally essential for a protected and productive installment framework," Das had said.
