You see, the Indian government imposed a ban on Binance, Kucoin, OKX, and others and they also claim that they issued notice to these exchanges that are illegally operating in india. And on top of that they're charging 30% as tax, which is really unfair to some of us at least. So I also wonder what you are guys looking up to now? I also heard that some people are doing F2F, which I think is a very good risk of getting robbed/mugged or whatever.
Anyways looking into some articles, the good news is that some exchanges are in collaboration with FIU to obtain VASP registration and comply with local laws, so that they can keep operating in India. Now I don't know if any of you existing users on CEXs are able to access it? Let me know.

I did not find any problem in accessing Binance when the shadow ban was placed by the government. As I already had the app installed on my mobile device but I was not able to update the app. That was the only problem I faced at that time as of now both Binance and Kucoin are FIU complaints. The latest news is that Bitget is in the process of becoming FIU compliant, which I read on a subreddit. I am not expecting a piece of good news for the Indian cryptocurrency community this year or the next 5 years.

Ban on exchanges didn't affect most of the trading activities cause they didn't have much difficulty accessing the site even after the ban or atleast for a while and then whole tons of users moved to Indian exchanges. And now already Binance becomes FIU compliance now there is no issues at all, people are free to trade if they want.
But 30% is the biggest barrier, no one really want to use the centralized exchange anymore because the tax rate is highly unfair and for now there is no sign of getting them lowered by the current ruling party who may have no idea of the actual potential market value.
