It's not just the RBI, every nook and cranny of Indian politics and bureaucracy is laden with such mentality, the only thing they know is strangle the bottlenecks, it is ridiculous!
I can't pay Aliexpress because they don't go along with paypal so well, for whatever reason, credit card transactions are declined everytime, because of the RBI's strangling policies, and this is with the leading national bank, can't pay via western union because for some reason you can send money to India but not from India, There is huge fee for bank to bank wire transfer, and no other way via post or any other. Such are the sad affairs of finance management in India.
And about other departments plagued too, I went to get petrol for my vehicle, which I couldn't drive to the station for it was that dry, on another vehicle to get some in a can. They outrightly refused to give oil in can because someone above passed an order restricting sale of oil in cans or bottles, the order seemed to be aimed at petrol used in protests, petrol bombs, and vandalism. I tried 2-3 stations but in vain.
India is emerging as a censoring and surveillance state fast, and the way it curtails things it soon might surpass US, Russia, China. Just wait and watch!
