From Chaos to Clarity: India's Legalization Journey of Cryptocurrency

Author(s) Manas K Iyer
Country India
Abstract Cryptocurrency has revolutionised the global financial system by offering a decentralised, digital alternative to traditional currencies. Cryptocurrencies allow safe peer-to-peer transactions without the use of traditional financial middlemen by leveraging blockchain technology. Since the launch of Bitcoin, the most well-known cryptocurrency, in 2009, other digital assets like Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin have seen tremendous growth. These virtual currencies function on decentralised networks without the interference of a centralised authority. The rise in popularity of Bitcoin in the early 2010s marked the beginning of the introduction of cryptocurrencies in India. Due to the market's initial lack of regulation, there were both exhilarations and worries. In 2013, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) released its first advisory about cryptocurrencies, outlining the potential dangers of fraud, security, and market volatility. The RBI outlawed cryptocurrency banking in 2018, making it illegal for financial institutions to deal with virtual currencies. But in March 2020, the Supreme Court declared this restriction to be unconstitutional, which rekindled interest in the cryptocurrency market. There is still regulatory ambiguity despite this. Since then, the Indian government has held lengthy talks over legislation about cryptocurrencies. While possibly limiting private cryptocurrencies, the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill offers a legislative framework for the Reserve Bank of India's Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the Digital Rupee. India is now considering how to regulate decentralised cryptocurrencies as of 2024. There isn't a complete legal structure for cryptocurrencies in India yet. Cryptocurrency trade and use are indirectly impacted by extant legislation, including the Income Tax Act and anti-money laundering rules. Despite the RBI’s 2018 circular being overturned, prudence with digital currencies is advised. Cryptocurrency exchanges must follow KYC and anti-money laundering regulations. The pending Cryptocurrency Bill aims to address regulatory ambiguity, while the RBI-backed Digital Rupee offers a regulated alternative.
