The claim
Recently, the government of India declared that crypto trading is legal and that taxes will be reduced from 30% to 10%.
Original review summary
The review says India had not explicitly banned cryptocurrencies but had not provided clear guidelines on their legality. It reports that the government introduced a 30% tax on income from digital virtual assets or cryptocurrency in its 2022-23 Budget, and says the claimed legal declaration and tax reduction were unsupported.[S1]
Additional context
The review notes that the Supreme Court struck down the RBI circular restricting regulated firms from serving people or companies involved in cryptocurrency trading in March 2020. [S1]
