CoinSwitch Kuber, the popular crypto trading platform has completely halted rupee deposits on its platform. At the moment, users have no way of adding money on the platform.
The company has stopped accepting rupee deposits via Unified Payments Interface (UPI), National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT), Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and Immediate Payment Service (IMPS).

“With reference to some recent media reports around the purchase of Cryptocurrencies using UPI, National Payments Corporation of India would like to clarify that we are not aware of any crypto exchange using UPI,” NPCI said in its statement.
