Hi, I see that you've tagged "India" on this post. May I ask why? I'm curious because there is nothing specific to India on this post. Further, exchanges such as Coinbase currently do not even support buys from India.

Indian readers might want to know what best options exist for them. For one, unless a user uses VPN, there is no way for someone from India to buy BTC anonymously. All sites require basic KYC validation which includes linking the PAN card number to their account.

I personally use CEX.io to buy BTC and ETH, and I had to verify my PAN card, bank account and debit card to start purchasing.
