The Indian government is likely to regulate cryptocurrencies in its upcoming budget in February, moving away from its earlier approach of seeking to impose an outright ban, according to a Business Today report.

* A law covering cryptocurrencies will most likely be discussed in the
country’s next general budget, the report said, citing Indian Finance
Ministry officials.

* The government is likely to opt for regulating cryptocurrencies as an
asset class, similar to commodities, with appropriate taxation of
transactions and gains.

* India’s Finance Ministry and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
officials are currently engaged in “fine-tuning the conceptual
framework and the necessary regulations,” according to Business
Today.

* In June, the New Indian Express reported the government was leaning
towards classifying bitcoin as an asset class,
citing industry
sources, and that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
would regulate the cryptocurrency sector.
