Odaily Planet Daily News: Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Tuesday in a speech announcing the 2024-2025 national budget that cryptocurrency tax rules remain unchanged. The main demand of the Indian crypto industry is to reduce the controversial tax deduction (TDS) policy for crypto transactions from 1% to 0.01%, and presented evidence from multiple sources, including a think tank study, to government officials. The industry also asked the government to impose a progressive tax on gains instead of a flat rate of 30%, and allow losses to offset gains. In addition, it is trying to promote multi-agency supervision. (CoinDesk)
