While this is not a new requirement for the industry, the notification will complicate life for crypto companies in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptometer.io\/news\/south-koreas-crypto-tracking-system-to-fight-money-laundering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">South Korea&#8217;s Crypto-Tracking System to Fight Money Laundering<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the PMLA, financial institutions must maintain a record of all transactions for the past decade, provide these records when requested, and verify the identity of all clients. These requirements could be challenging for crypto companies, given the anonymity provided by virtual assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact of strict tax policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March 2022, India amended tax rules to subject digital asset holdings and transfers to a 30% tax. Within ten days of the new tax policy, trading volume on major cryptocurrency exchanges across India dropped by 70%. Over the next three months, it declined by almost 90%. The strict tax policy led crypto traders to offshore exchanges and forced budding crypto projects to move outside India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto advertising ban<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February 2023, Indian authorities preemptively banned crypto advertising and sponsorships in the local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptometer.io\/news\/india-bans-crypto-ads-and-sponsorships-in-womens-cricket-league\/\">women\u2019s cricket league<\/a>, following a similar ban for the men\u2019s cricket Premier League in 2022. The ban will further restrict the promotion of crypto in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, India\u2019s Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, urged international efforts to regulate crypto while celebrating India\u2019s first presidency of the G20. Sitharaman called for a coordinated effort &#8220;for building and understanding the macro-financial implications&#8221; to reform crypto regulation globally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian government has notified crypto companies to comply with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) of 2002.
