In Brief

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Calls for Global Crypto Regulatory Framework

Narendra Modi, Indian Prime Minister and G20’s incumbent chairman, has called for a global crypto regulatory framework. The request was made through a Presidency Note, which acts as an input for a roadmap on establishing a global framework for crypto assets.

As per PM Modi’s note, G20 has identified the need for coordination and consistent implementation of regulations and guidance put in place by different jurisdictions.

He said that multiple organizations – including the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) – are working on framing essential regulatory standards for the crypto assets industry.

The IMF-FSB Synthesis Paper is expected to be released at the end of August. According to an IMF blog post published on July 18, the paper will be delivered to the Leaders’ Summit in September.

The goal of the roadmap is to help countries come to an agreement on the minimum policy standard for crypto assets. PM Modi said that this would safeguard nations’ macroeconomics, financial stability, and financial integrity, and provide appropriate investor/user awareness, among other benefits.

Additionally, the Presidency Note suggests several action points, including:

  • Promoting effective implementation of the FSB’s high-level recommendations
  • Working towards the articulation of an analysis that takes into account macro financial implications and risks specific to emerging and developing economies (EMDEs).
  • Outreach to all jurisdictions to generate awareness of risks, build capacity on implementation, oversight, and enforcement of recommended standards
  • Continued monitoring of financial stability risks posed by crypto assets.

While global leaders have yet to agree on a clear framework for crypto, India has put in place its own regulations. Last year, the country’s government mandated a 30% tax on the transfer of virtual assets. Additionally, if the transaction exceeds INR 50000 and INR 10000, a 1% income tax will be imposed. 

India’s crypto asset taxes also apply to airdrops, crypto gifts, NFT trading, crypto mining, staking, referrals, token sales, and crypto salary.
