联合财政部根据反洗钱法引入虚拟数字资产的举措旨在扩大税收和监管网络，并为各机构提供便利。但人们担心缺乏中央监管机构。
工信部具体做了什么？
3 月 7 日，政府发布通知，根据《防止洗钱法》对涉及加密资产的交易进行监管。它列出了 PMLA 涵盖的交易的性质。具体如下： 虚拟数字资产与法定货币之间的兑换；一种或多种形式的虚拟数字资产之间的交换；虚拟数字资产的转让；保管或管理虚拟数字资产或能够控制虚拟数字资产的工具；参与和提供与发行人发行和出售虚拟数字资产相关的金融服务。
为什么要搬家？
该措施有望帮助调查机构对加密公司采取行动。执法局和所得税部门已经调查或正在调查针对经营加密货币交易所和交易的公司的多起案件。例如，ED 去年冻结了广受欢迎的 WazirX 交易所的银行余额。
加密货币在印度的法律地位是什么？
在去年的联盟预算中，尽管政府对加密货币征税，但并未着手制定框架法规。早些时候，印度储备银行提出了一项禁令，但被法院命令搁置了。去年 7 月，财政部长表达了印度储备银行的担忧尼尔马拉·西塔拉曼 告诉议会，任何对加密货币的有效监管或禁令都需要“国际合作”。
从 2022 年 4 月起，印度对加密货币收益征收 30% 的所得税。 2022 年 7 月，有关加密货币源头减税 1% 的规定生效。
业界如何看待该通知？
在公开场合，加密货币行业在很大程度上对这一举措表示欢迎。然而，在内部，有人担心通知没有给实体时间来遵守新的规范。该行业还担心，在没有中央监管机构的情况下，加密实体最终可能会直接与 ED 等执法机构打交道。
加密货币交易所 CoinDCX 的联合创始人兼首席执行官 Sumit Gupta 表示：“我们正在缓慢但肯定地朝着受监管的加密生态系统迈进。” “法律现在要求像 CoinDCX 这样的实体根据 PMLA 进行尽职调查和加强尽职调查......我们一直在寻找一种与 FIU-IND 共享数据的方法，现在很高兴这个渠道已经打开。我和我的团队仍在研究细则，例如纳入 VDA 的转让。”
商业咨询公司 CapDeck Advisors 的首席执行官 Mohnish Wadhwa 表示，“有了这个，VDA 实体现在被列为报告实体，这意味着处理客户资金的 VDA 的交易所、保管人或管理员将必须尽可能多地遵守 PMLA 法律银行会这样做并报告可疑交易。”
不过，他补充说，在没有监管机构的情况下，执法机构可以直接诉诸这项修正案。他补充说：“与银行不同，监管机构有规定要遵守的规则，以符合 PMLA 要求，VDA 交易所一直依靠最佳实践来确保这些都得到妥善处理。”
