🌐 India's cryptocurrency regulation is in doubt: buying and selling are not prohibited, but heavy taxes are imposed
🤷♂️The Indian government has taken an increasingly strict regulatory attitude towards cryptocurrencies in recent years, but interestingly, they have not deprived citizens of their freedom to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
Although new tax measures were implemented on April 1, 2022, imposing taxes of up to 30% on cryptocurrency gains, nominally to strengthen the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, the Indian government has not formulated a specific regulatory plan for cryptocurrency transactions.
🤔 Here comes a contradiction: if it is to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, why not take more direct regulatory measures, such as directly banning cryptocurrency transactions?
🧐 However, the Indian government chose another way. Not only did it not prohibit citizens from trading freely, but it also imposed heavy taxes on cryptocurrency profits, including a 30% profit tax and a 1% source deduction tax (TDS).
💡 This practice has sparked widespread speculation from the outside world, and people can't help but ask, what is the real intention of the Indian government? Are they regulating the market through taxation, or are they really leaving room for cryptocurrency money laundering and terrorist financing?
