On Tuesday, during the Budget 2022 speech, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated that India has plans to introduce digital currency in the financial year beginning April 2022 which will give a big boost to the digital economy. The introduction of tax rules, a tax of 30% on the transfer of digital assets, in the 2022 Budget gives a clear signal that India is on the path to regulate crypto and Bitcoin.
“Digital currency will also lead to a more efficient and cheaper currency management system. It is therefore proposed to introduce digital rupee using Blockchain and other technologies to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India starting 2022 and 2023”, the Finance Minister shared in her speech, during the Budget.
With this crypto is legally recognized in India. Although the country had planned to ban digital assets previously, this is not the case anymore. Any concern of a ban is off the table. With cryptos and blockchain technologies being adopted globally, India couldn’t resist itself. The Finance Minister stated that the magnitude and frequency of transactions in digital assets have made it imperative to provide for a specific tax regime.
