The number of people investing in cryptocurrencies in the country continues to grow, even though the government has imposed a hefty 30 percent tax and one percent TDS on the income generated from it. Now a big update has come from the government regarding crypto in India. Ajay Seth, Secretary, of the Department of Economic Affairs, said regarding cryptocurrencies that the consultation paper in this regard is almost ready. He said that every aspect has been thoroughly discussed in making it.
Ajay Seth made this big statement while talking to reporters during a program on Monday. He said that it is very important to have a global consensus on central cryptocurrencies. But the government will look into the steps taken by other countries before regulating cryptocurrencies to protect Indian investors. He said that we have had extensive discussions and consulted not only domestic stakeholders but also organizations like IMF, and World Bank. We are hopeful that we will finalize the consultation paper soon.
The economic affairs secretary said that what the government intends and what it thinks about cryptocurrencies has been told by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Sydney conference a long time ago. After this, he spoke on more than one forum. Apart from this, the Finance Minister to the RBI, have presented their opinion about this. Let us inform here that in the budget of the financial year 2022-23, the Government of India had imposed a 30 percent tax on profits from cryptocurrency transactions and one percent TDS on transactions, which has been implemented on April 1, but Cryptocurrencies are not yet recognized in the country.
Apart from 30 percent tax and one percent TDS, preparations have also intensified to bring cryptocurrencies under the ambit of Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the country. The GST Council also wants to impose an additional 28 percent tax on crypto in addition to the 30 percent tax levied earlier. The council is looking at investing in cryptos like gambling, casinos, and lotteries. However, if the Secretary of Economic Affairs is to be believed, the consultation paper prepared by the government will be presented as soon as possible. In such a situation, it is expected that soon the government can make a big decision regarding crypto in the country.
