The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is reported to reaffirm its position that crypto-related activities carry significant risks and that policies leaning toward prohibition may be warranted. Separate reporting also says the tax department warning complements this stance by highlighting concerns around potential tax evasion and difficulties in monitoring crypto transactions. The RBI has previously issued cautions on the financial, regulatory, and consumer risks associated with cryptocurrencies, and this latest development reiterates those themes. According to the reports, the RBI’s view is that prohibitive or restrictive measures may be necessary in light of the risks linked to crypto use, including concerns about compliance and oversight. The tax department’s perspective focuses on the practical challenges of tracking crypto-related activity and the possibility that some users may not report transactions accurately for tax purposes. Taken together, the accounts describe a continued push for restrictions on crypto in India, supported by both financial-regulatory arguments from the RBI and tax-administration concerns from the tax authorities. The reports do not indicate a final policy decision in this coverage, but they describe renewed support for a prohibition-oriented approach.
