India Yet to Adopt Crypto Regulations
The current regulatory environment in India still remains in a gray area because of lack of regulatory clarity. India is among the top countries with the highest rate of crypto adoption as reported by Chainalysis earlier this year.
Despite this the government is yet to clarify regulations surrounding crypto. Crypto traders in India are also dealing with high tax rates. There is currently a 30% income tax on crypto earning and a direct 1% GST on crypto transactions.
India recently concluded Presidency of G20 where crypto reguations was one of the major topics. Indian crypto firms are expected clear regulations as soon as next year.
