It seems that Indian government really wants to stop bitcoin but it’s a foolish idea for this country because the previous users of btc using this through their known people in abroad but the government also taking step for this is not fare and they applied tax for this OMG so they should think about this future scenario how profitable bitcoin is and they can increase their economy with this.

In some countries, personal gain taxes are not there but I know in India investors need to pay for all kind of investment gains.


That sounds pretty cool right , crypto growing in india. well , I guess this is a good news , except the tax news .

I think it is not correct because what I know is recently RBI has asked all banks not to deal with crypto exchanges means investors can't buy and sell through their bank accounts. This is like an indirect ban on cryptos and it is not a good news for crypto investors. Only option to buy and sell will be between people to people and which will reduce the demand for cryptos.

It's really sad to see that tax is held upon Cryptocurrency transactionss. But then again, if your government starts taking taxes, you have no ther way left except to pay for it. It's not fair enough for the investors.

It appears that the Indian government is exploiting the way that they can truly charge crypto on the off chance that they needed to, and we know there'd be a ton of resistance with this move however what else can the Indian dealers do? It's a disgrace that you can't openly exchange crypto in your own particular nation and you have to fall back on other costly routes just to exchange. This will hinder the development of crypto in the said nation and rather than the legislature profiting from the duties, there'd be none since a great many people would likely pick purchasing abroad and taking their business in there.

It is really good news for the industry. Crypto will grow more with the result of the news. I hope India will grow more with the use of Crypto. But there should be a regulation regarding law.

Yes it is true that it is very good news from India and taxes have always been unpleasant for those who produce or for entrepreneurs and traders, the therapy is mandatory and for the common good in government.

As cryptocurrency regulations start to pile up in India, a new trend is emerging for Indians to acquire cryptocurrencies from abroad, such as from relatives or friends with overseas accounts.

The Indian government has recently intensified its efforts to strengthen the country’s regulations on cryptocurrencies, promising that a regulatory framework for them will be announced soon. Earlier this month, the Indian tax authority issued notices to 100,000 crypto traders asking them to pay taxes.

The Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Committee (BACC), an industry group whose members include 7 cryptocurrency exchanges, is considering several initiatives, such as creating a database of crypto users and transactions, to comply with the government’s mandates

I really think that the same that have happened with tax havens will happen to bitcoin as well, those that have enough money can store their money and avoid taxes that way, how long it is going to take for a country to become a bitcoin tax haven? When that happens all of those whales are going to move to such a country and are going to avoid paying taxes.

It is a shame for india to stiffle crypto revolution, and disable their citizens form equality in participation with the other countries. People will always find a way though, as this example shows us

It seems that the Indian government is taking advantage of the fact that they can really tax crypto if they wanted to, and I know there'd be a lot of opposition with this move but what else can the Indian traders do? It's a shame that you can't freely trade crypto in your own country and you need to resort to other expensive ways just to trade. This will inhibit the growth of crypto in the said country and instead of the government benefiting from the taxes, there'd be none since most people would likely choose buying overseas and taking their business in there.
I totally agree with your statement . yes , that's true Indian government will have lot of profit due to this move and they might have taken it deliberately . I just hope all the things should go well with india .

Tax has always been unpleasant for the profit-making traders, but India is great with cryptocurrency, they are not persistent in searching for loopholes in trade or investing in crypto.

Well they might find ways to circumvent this regulations but its a bigger risk that they have to make.

This is really too bad as it is a lose lose for any country that does this.  There is no way they can really ban it and people with big money including those exchange will just end up moving overseas to a more friendly jurisdiction.  South Korea tried something similar and then did a 180 once they saw that major exchanges were ready to move overseas.

That's the only options left for big Indian's exchanges. Move elsewhere to continue their business because the government is not very friendly.

Unfortunately now even LocalBitcoins[1] requires KYC. The best way for you to buy and sell bitcoin right now would be to look for buy and sell offers on probably social media, then straight up meet people to transact. Unfortunately global adoption also has some downsides: strict regulations.

Ye, Recently LBC required KYC especially for high profile traders. Straight meet up to do bitcoin transaction will be the best choice, but the risk is there. I guess we all have to live with strict regulations, taxes and all sort of state revenues imposed if you want to be involve in crypto.
