Along with the growing cryptocurrency investments in India, the government regulations also spiraled to be very strict. Today, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not legal in the country. However, the fortunate thing is that India still opens the gate for crypto exchanges. Even though India falls behind in providing a robust regulatory framework, the country has a protected licensing process, which makes it difficult for using certain cryptocurrencies and other innovative technologies to accelerate the benefits of the digital coin. However, cryptocurrency enthusiasts opine that rather than rolling out a ban on the digital currency market and confining Indians from using it, the government should think about making cryptocurrency digital cash in the country.

Although cryptocurrency is an open market for Indian investors, the government has imposed a tax on any profitable bitcoin transactions. The Income Tax Department has also suggested taxing cryptocurrency profits. But the situation of cryptocurrency in India is as volatile as its own market price. Despite the ongoing turmoil, around 7 million Indians have already pumped in over US$1 billion into the digital currency market. Indians investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is predicted to drastically surge over the next few months or years. Unfortunately, the Indian government is still unstable to decide on whether to allow fintech space for cryptocurrency transactions or not. However, the Reserve Bank of India, the foremost bank in the country, and the Indian government are moving forward to propose new regulations. At a time when things are still moving at a slow pace, let’s take you through where India stands on rolling out new rules on cryptocurrencies and what experts predict could help the country perform better in the digital currency market.
