BREAKING: 🇮🇳 India moves a step closer to CRYPTO regulation, not ban!

The Parliament’s Home Affairs Committee has released its 254th Cybercrime Report:

⚠️ Highlights the risks — scams, laundering, dark web use

✅ But instead of a ban, it recommends:

It is for the first time, the focus is towards India Crypto Regulation rather than a total ban.

This indicates a major change in the way in which the nation might deal with the cryptocurrencies in the years to come. 

Growing Fears Regarding Cryptocurrency Scams

The report emphasized the dark side of cryptocurrency usage. It depicted connections with scams, money laundering, and dark web trading. 

In the country, between 2019 and 2024, reported fraud losses amounting to ₹31,594 crore, with over 53.9 lakh grievances registered by the citizens.

Legislators stated that if there are no proper regulations, then criminals will keep on availing themselves of cryptocurrency.

Meanwhile, genuine users and businesses are stuck, because of ambiguous policies. This necessitates regulation more than ever before.

India Crypto Regulation: Committee’s Key Suggestions

  • Rather than outlawing cryptos, the committee has proposed a legal framework that brings clarity and security. The foremost recommendations are:
  • Classification of cryptocurrencies as digital assets under FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act).
  • RBI regulation of stablecoins prior to their launch, to bring stability in finance.
  • Placing exchanges under AML/KYC and FATF regulations to curb abuse.
  • Implementing post-quantum security protocols to guard against sophisticated cyber threats.
  • Establishing a transparent crypto tax and legal framework so that users and regulators are provided with well-defined standards.

These actions fpr India Crypto Regulation demonstrate the government is not attempting to shut down the industry but regulate it in a secure and balanced manner.

Why This Matters for the Future?

For years the country debated whether to ban digital currencies or permit it. The government sees that the tide may be changing now.

By defining cryptocurrencies as digital assets, the nation is paving the way for innovation but also minimizing risks to its economy.

Experts say this step could bring the country in line with global best practices where cryptocurrency is treated under FATF guidelines.

With adoption of the said proposals it will bring sanity to the millions of investors, developers and companies in India that deal with blockchain technology.

Strong anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) will guard against exploitation by criminals in the meantime.  

This balance between growth and security is at the heart of the India Crypto Regulation debate.

India Passes Gaming Bill As Crypto Faces Strict Scrutiny

The Online Gaming Bill, passed on August 20-21, shuts down any platform that involves deposits or stakes, which the law now calls “online money gaming.” An Online Gaming Authority is being set up to enforce it, and the penalties are sharp: up to three years in jail and fines of up to ₹1 crore.

Conclusion 

The country is now progressing from chaos to certainty in its response to digital assets. The 254th Cybercrime Report clarifies that the goal is not to prohibit crypto but to manage it.

By treating cryptocurrencies as digital assets and imposing stringent regulations, the nation expects to safeguard users, minimize fraud, and encourage innovation.

The move towards India Crypto Regulation is a historic development that may define the future of digital finance in the country.

Recently, former MP Ritesh Panday has once again stood up for India’s crypto community and is urging the government to cut 30% tax, remove the 1% TDS and bring in clear regulations.
