The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) in India is actively seeking public and expert feedback on the taxation and regulatory framework for Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs), including cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This initiative reflects the government’s growing focus on building a transparent and robust digital asset policy.
India has already introduced a 30% tax on crypto gains and a 1% TDS on transactions under current rules. However, with the rise of crypto trading platforms, blockchain innovation, and NFT marketplaces, the government aims to review and improve existing crypto regulations in India. The CBDT’s move is expected to resolve compliance issues and align India’s crypto taxation with global best practices.
Stakeholders, including industry experts, tax professionals, crypto exchanges, and the general public, are encouraged to submit their suggestions. These inputs will help frame a more comprehensive policy addressing taxation on digital currencies, crypto income reporting, and potential loopholes in current guidelines.
This proactive step indicates that India is not planning a crypto ban but rather focusing on regulating digital assets efficiently. With proper stakeholder engagement, India could set a balanced example for crypto regulation in emerging markets.
