Crypto in India: Taxed But Still Unregulated?

🚨 Update as of July 21, 2025:

The Ministry of Finance confirmed in Lok Sabha:

“Crypto remains UNREGULATED in India.” 😶‍🌫️

📉 No usage data collected in the past 5 years

⏱️ No real-time tracking infrastructure exists

Yet the taxation machinery is in full force:

💸 30% tax on profits

💰 1% TDS on every trade

So—no recognition, no framework, no consumer protection…

But full taxation like it’s a legalized system?

🔁 This is the Regulatory Paradox India faces in Web3:

• No clarity

• No policy structure

• Still expected to pay like it’s all formalized

👀 Your thoughts:

Does taxing something automatically make it regulated?
