រដ្ឋាភិបាលឥណ្ឌាធ្វើបច្ចុប្បន្នភាពសភាលើបញ្ហាដែលទាក់ទងនឹងគ្រីបតូ

The Indian government on Monday provided Parliament with clarity regarding its cryptocurrency bill as well as the status of investigations into crypto exchanges.

The government of India has provided information to various members of Lok Sabha, the lower house of India’s parliament, on its plans to regulate cryptocurrencies as well as investigations into crypto exchanges, according to reports by Bitcoin.com.

Government Provides Updates on its Crypto Bill and Regulatory Plans

Parliament member Bhartruhari Mahtab asked the Minister of Finance to indicate “the current status of the cryptocurrency bill, which was due for being tabled during the winter session, 2021, of the Parliament” and the expected timeframe within which the crypto bill would be tabled and be open to public input.

Without providing a specific timeframe, Pankaj Chaudhary, minister of state in the Ministry of Finance, replied:

ទ្រព្យសកម្មគ្រីបតូគឺតាមនិយមន័យគ្មានព្រំដែន ហើយទាមទារការសហការអន្តរជាតិដើម្បីការពារអាជ្ញាកណ្តាលបទប្បញ្ញត្តិ។ ដូច្នេះ ច្បាប់ណាមួយលើប្រធានបទអាចមានប្រសិទ្ធភាពបានលុះត្រាតែមានការសហការជាអន្តរជាតិយ៉ាងសំខាន់លើការវាយតម្លៃហានិភ័យ និងអត្ថប្រយោជន៍ និងការវិវត្តន៍នៃនិក្ខេបបទ និងស្តង់ដារទូទៅ។

The Finance Minister was asked to state which ministry and/or department would be responsible for regulating cryptocurrencies and tokens. Chaudhary was also asked which department would regulate other forms of “virtual digital assets,” including NFTs, decentralised applications (dApps), real estate tokens, and other blockchain-based assets, to which he responded:

បច្ចុប្បន្ន គោលនយោបាយទាក់ទងនឹងទ្រព្យសកម្មគ្រីបតូ និងប្រព័ន្ធអេកូដែលពាក់ព័ន្ធគឺនៅជាមួយក្រសួងហិរញ្ញវត្ថុ។

Details Regarding Crypto Exchanges Under Investigation Also Sought

Members of parliament also requested “the details of crypto exchanges which are under investigation by the government for money laundering and tax evasion cases.”

Minister Chaudhary explained to Parliament that India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) is currently investigating numerous cases related to cryptocurrency fraud in which some exchanges have also been found to be involved in money laundering. He explained that as of December 14:

ប្រាក់​ចំណូល​ពី​បទ​ល្មើស​មាន​ចំនួន​មួយ​លាន​រៀល។ 907.48 crores ត្រូវបានភ្ជាប់ / រឹបអូសមនុស្ស XNUMX នាក់ត្រូវបានចាប់ខ្លួននិងពាក្យបណ្តឹងអយ្យការចំនួន XNUMX ត្រូវបានដាក់នៅចំពោះមុខតុលាការពិសេស PMLA ក្នុងករណីទាំងនេះ។

It was also revealed that under the Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999 (FEMA), assets to the value of $35,046,152 have been seized to date. Chaudhary added that 12 crypto exchanges have been investigated for evading Goods and Services Tax. A further investigation is also ongoing that involves eight cases, and an additional four cases have been closed on payment in which interest and penalties were levied.

ជំហររបស់ឥណ្ឌាលើរូបិយប័ណ្ណគ្រីបតូ

Minister Chaudhary also made it clear:

បច្ចុប្បន្ននេះ ទ្រព្យសម្បត្តិគ្រីបតូមិនត្រូវបានគ្រប់គ្រងនៅក្នុងប្រទេសឥណ្ឌាទេ។ រដ្ឋាភិបាលមិនចុះបញ្ជីការប្តូរគ្រីបតូទេ។

Although cryptocurrencies are extremely popular in the country, India’s Reserve Bank (RBI) is seeking a total ban on cryptocurrencies. The country has been vocal on its stance regarding crypto assets and maintains that they should be prohibited given their potential to threaten the country’s financial stability. The industry has been stifled since a 30% capital gains tax was imposed by union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman in March. Under this tax structure, citizens trading in crypto is to pay a capital gains tax of 30% on their cryptocurrencies. Additionally, they will have to pay a 1% tax deducted at source on every transaction. India and its Reserve Bank may be against cryptocurrencies as such but have embraced the blockchain technology that underlies it by launching a រូពីឌីជីថល សាកល្បង។
