Most of the Bitcoin Selling Services in India provides you IMPS / NEFT bank transfer method so as to buy bitcoins. The risk is moderate in such cases, once the transfer is completed you can’t get the amount back in case of any fraud issues. Thus the best way is introducing mediator in between You and the Bitcoin Seller.
