FM Nirmala Sitharaman's stand on banning cryptocurrency in the country is strict. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Tuesday that a bill on cryptocurrencies will be introduced in Parliament after the approval of the Union Cabinet. The minister also said that regulation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is also being considered. The government will soon bring a bill after the approval of the cabinet. It was not brought up last time as other aspects were yet to be looked into. Many things like Cryptocurrency had come into play. Sitharaman said during the Question Hour in the Rajya Sabha that the intention is to amend the bill.
Regarding advertisements on Cryptocurrency, he said that no decision has been taken yet on banning advertisements. ASCI regulates the advertisement and prepares the guidelines. All its rules are being looked at so that we can see what can be done on ads.
Earlier on Monday, the minister said that there is no proposal to recognize bitcoin as a currency. Furthermore, he added that the government does not collect data on bitcoin transactions.

However, it allows for some exceptions to the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies and the promotion of its use.
The government told the Lok Sabha on Monday that cryptocurrency is unregulated in India and it does not collect information about its trade.
