India’s authorities have taken hostile stances against cryptocurrencies in the past, with varying degrees of success.
A new bill
Anurag Thakur, the country’s Minister of State for Finance pointed out that the government is drafting a cryptocurrency bill that will be sent to the Cabinet for deliberation.
He said this when he was responding to questions in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the bicameral Parliament of India on Feb. 9.
An Indian lawmaker views bitcoins and cryptocurrencies as “an escalating problem” that needs to be dealt with.
"There is no doubt that the problem of bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies is escalating and the circular issued by the RBI also has limited impact,” said KC Ramamurthy, a Member of Parliament from Karnataka.
“I would like to know from the honorable finance minister whether there is any proposal to bring in a bill to curb cryptocurrency in the country,” Ramamurthy quizzed Thakur.
Cryptos are out of reach
In his response, Thakur said cryptocurrencies are not classified as either currencies or assets, placing them outside the regulatory oversight of the country’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the securities regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).
"Regulatory bodies like RBI and Sebi etc also don’t have a legal framework to directly regulate cryptocurrencies as they are neither currencies nor assets or securities or commodities issued by an identifiable user,” said Thakur.
He added that the “existing laws are inadequate” in dealing with cryptocurrencies. As a result of this, the government has to introduce a new bill.
“The bill is being finalized and will be sent to the cabinet soon. So we will be bringing the bill soon,” said Thakur.
India wants to ban cryptocurrencies
India caught the local cryptocurrency community off-guard last month after proposing a new bill that would ban “private cryptocurrencies” such as bitcoin in favor of a new national digital currency to be issued by the central bank.
The crypto community hit back, demanding clarity on the meaning of “private cryptocurrency.”
The authorities want to ban cryptocurrencies when the market is experiencing an unprecedented bull market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
