Speaking of the crypto situation in India, Since the new crypto tax came into effect just a few days ago, the Indian crypto exchanges see a sharp drop in transaction volume, and in the final days of March, they witnessed a moment of panic selling. Sharing volume graph of the four leading exchanges ZebPay, BITBNS, CoinDCX, and WazirX all tweeted that they saw a drop in volume after the new crypto tax rules became applicable. The tax provisions became effective from the start of the new financial year and they were presented as part of the Annual Budget in the Indian Parliament in early February this year which generated quite the debate with some lawmakers calling for a favorable environment for the industry while others demanded a more stringent regime.

What makes the taxes worrisome is the lack of regulation which makes dealing in digital assets quite risky.

The government said that it wants to wait for a glboal consensus and emerge on regulation issues before it comes up with its own.
