- There are 3 major cryptocurrency exchanges in India at the moment:
- Zebpay

- First step would be to get your KYC done in any of the above exchanges. Your address proof, Adhaar number and Bank account will be taken as your proofs to get registered on their platform.
- Secondly you will have to transfer money to their bank account. Make sure your bank allow transfer to the exchange’s bank.
