Okay. This is quite hilarious.
RBI has almost killed Paypal in India, and while both the parties are to be blamed for the situation, we just found out that one cannot link back to RBI website without their permission and if you do, you have to notify RBI in writing! [that you are sending them a link love!]
From RBI’s disclaimer page [we find it difficult to send snail mails (snails went out for shopping last year and haven't come back), so no link : http://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/disclaimer.aspx].
Few ‘insightful’ points are highlighted.
