The Indian Budget of 2022 had mixed reactions within the Crypto community with a positive reaction towards India’s acceptance in dealing with Digital assets however a high tax cut(30%) did not seem to go down well with many others. We believe that this is a landmark step towards a more accommodative environment where ambiguity on crypto transactions has been done away with the taxation rules on cryptocurrency being introduced. Although the Indian government has taken the right decision to tax crypto income, a lower rate would certainly benefit the entire ecosystem and also encourage more investors to look at crypto as a serious investment.
