So, I tried to learn and know everything related to bitcoin before investing. I prefer Unocoin for trading bitcoin and you can choose any of the bitcoin trading platforms available in India. If you also want to have bitcoin in your wallet, then follow the guideline.
Get Your Documents
Gather all your documents like PAN card, Address proof, latest photograph and scan them properly in JPEG format. You also need to have a valid email id and mobile phone number, before you register and open an account with any of the bitcoin trading platforms. I register with Unocoin and is absolutely free of cost. However, there are many bitcoin trading platforms available in India.
Register With Unocoin Bitcoin Wallet
To register with Unocoin bitcoin wallet, visit www.unocoin.com and click on Sign Up button. Enter your valid email id and secure password into the Sign Up form. Once you submit it, you need to verify your email id by clicking on the link provided by Unocoin. The link will redirect you to Unocoin Terms and conditions page. All you need is to accept it and your registration process will be done successfully.
Verify Account Details
Sign In with your email id and password and enter all the relevant details like Name, Phone number, PAN number, Address and click on the “Next” button. Upload your scanned PAN card, photo, and address proof. Before uploading check your name is on the Address proof and submit it.
Now just visit Unocoin Dashboard and you will see that your account status is pending. Once the verification process is over, you will see your account get verified and will be shown on the dashboard. After verification only, a bitcoin wallet address is generated and so you can now start buying, selling, and store bitcoin.
Deposit Funds To Your Bitcoin Wallet
To deposit funds on Unocoin Bitcoin wallet, just visit Deposit INR page and enter the desired amount to transfer. At present, you can only transfer through NEFT/RTGS/IMPS from your registered bank only. You will get a reference number from your bank, once you transferred the amount. Enter the reference number in your Unocoin account in the Deposit INR page.
After 3-4 working hours, you will be able to view the amount on your account dashboard. Sometimes it may take little more time and so be patient. When it is successfully processed, you can go for buying bitcoin.

Send and Withdraw Bitcoin From Your Unocoin Wallet
You can easily send bitcoin to your other bitcoin wallet address or to one of your friend’s bitcoin wallet address. Moreover, you can also send bitcoin to any email address that has been registered on Unocoin. However, you can also send to the unregistered email id and recipient email id user can only claim its bitcoin once it registered with Unocoin only.
To send bitcoin, go to the Send/Receive bitcoin link and enter the bitcoin address or email id of the receiver. After that enter the BTC amount and hit the ‘Send Money’ button.
