Finance committee disapproves the narrow focus of crypto representatives on “advocacy”. The committee instructed the representatives to divert the tax-related questions to the country’s finance minister.

It also asked them to list the names of crypto-related companies that are involved in solving financial problems in ប្រទេសឥណ្ឌា.
The recent crypto tax laws imposed by the government are worrisome for the crypto industry. Since April, the capital gains tax imposes a 30% rate on income generated from crypto investments.

The 1% tax deductible at source (TDS), an upcoming crypto tax in July, puts a stern restriction over the transactions of digital assets. For every transaction exceeding $132 USD (10,000 INR), the buyer of the crypto asset will deduct the 1% TDS on behalf of the seller.
It’s a long-haul battle for the Indian crypto community against the country’s mission of setting up a regulatory regime.
