India Crypto Regulation Debate Deepens After FIU, CBDT Review
India's cryptocurrency landscape faces renewed scrutiny as financial agencies present regulatory concerns to Parliament. The absence of comprehensive legislation contrasts sharply with existing taxation policies, creating urgency for legal clarity.

Officials from FIU-IND and CBDT outlined enforcement mechanisms against crypto-linked fraud and overseas asset concealment, though regulatory frameworks remain embryonic.
