印度不准備在不久的將來實施加密貨幣產業法規

這項聲明是為了回應議員、總經理 Harish Balayogi 關於政府對加密貨幣立場的詢問。

India will not be implementing any regulations on the cryptocurrency sector in the near future, a government official stated in response to parliament inquiries.

一位政府官員在回應議會詢問時表示，印度近期不會對加密貨幣產業實施任何監管。

Pankaj Chaudhary, Minister of State for Finance, made the statement in a written reply to questions raised by GM Harish Balayogi, a member of parliament. Balayogi's questions aimed to uncover the government's stance on cryptocurrencies, specifically regarding the administration's research and initiatives to understand the crypto sector and whether any legislation is on the horizon.

財政部長潘卡伊·喬杜里 (Pankaj Chaudhary) 在書面答复國會議員哈里什·巴拉約吉 (Harish Balayogi) 提出的問題時發表了上述聲明。 Balayogi 的問題旨在揭示政府對加密貨幣的立場，特別是關於政府為了解加密貨幣行業而進行的研究和舉措以及是否即將出台任何立法。

Chaudhary's reply, dated August 5, confirmed that there is "no proposal" to regulate the "sales and purchase" of cryptocurrencies, which are referred to as virtual digital assets (VDAs) in the Indian constitution.

Chaudhary 在 8 月 5 日的答覆中確認，“沒有提議”來監管加密貨幣的“銷售和購買”，加密貨幣在印度憲法中被稱為虛擬數位資產（VDA）。

However, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is "authorized" to notify VDASP as reporting entities, Chaudhary indicated. These entities are subject to the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) of 2002, empowering the regulator to monitor illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorism financing.

然而，Chaudhary 表示，金融情報中心 (FIU) 被「授權」將 VDASP 作為報告實體進行通知。這些實體須遵守 2002 年《預防洗錢法》(PMLA) 的規定，該法授權監管機構監控洗錢和恐怖主義融資等非法活動。

Despite the lack of a comprehensive regulatory framework, various law enforcement agencies, including the Reserve Bank of India, are equipped to investigate and take action against illegal activities under the ambit of existing laws. Recently, the Directorate General of GST Intelligence slapped a show-cause notice on Binance, demanding that the exchange pay $86 million in taxes due.

儘管缺乏全面的監管框架，但包括印度儲備銀行在內的各種執法機構有能力在現行法律範圍內調查非法活動並採取行動。最近，商品及服務稅情報總局向幣安發出了一份說明理由通知，要求該交易所繳納 8,600 萬美元的應繳稅款。

Regarding government research on cryptocurrencies, Chaudhary noted that no data is collected on cryptocurrencies as it is an "unregulated" sector. He also highlighted the G20 Roadmap on Crypto Assets, which was adopted under India's presidency last year.

關於政府對加密貨幣的研究，喬杜里指出，沒有收集有關加密貨幣的數據，因為它是一個「不受監管」的部門。他也強調了去年印度擔任輪值主席國期間通過的 G20 加密資產路線圖。

This roadmap, which was derived from a joint synthesis paper by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Financial Stability Board (FSB), provides recommendations for member nations on approaching crypto regulations.

路線圖源自國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）和金融穩定委員會（FSB）的聯合綜合文件，為成員國提供加密貨幣監管的建議。

Chaudhary stated that the G20 nations, including India, are currently assessing the "country-specific" risks and benefits associated with cryptocurrencies, with plans to coordinate with global "standard-setting bodies" before considering any regulatory measures.

喬杜里表示，包括印度在內的二十國集團國家目前正在評估與加密貨幣相關的「特定國家」風險和利益，並計劃在考慮任何監管措施之前與全球「標準制定機構」進行協調。

Chaudhary's reply did not mention an upcoming discussion paper that will reportedly clarify the government's stance on cryptocurrencies. Last month, Ajay Seth, Secretary of Economic Affairs, announced that an inter-ministerial group consisting of multiple regulators is working on a "wider policy for cryptocurrencies" following IMF-FSB guidelines. This paper is expected to be released before September 2024.

喬杜里的回覆沒有提及即將發布的討論文件，據報道該文件將澄清政府對加密貨幣的立場。上個月，經濟事務部長 Ajay Seth 宣布，由多個監管機構組成的部際小組正在遵循 IMF-FSB 指導方針制定「更廣泛的加密貨幣政策」。該論文預計將於 2024 年 9 月前發布。

Currently, India has a licensing regime implemented by the FIU, which mandates locals to report their crypto holdings and pay a 30% tax on capital gains, as per a tax law passed in 2022. The nation is also developing its central bank digital currency, the e-rupee, which achieved 1 million retail transactions in late June.

目前，印度有金融情報機構實施的許可製度，根據 2022 年通過的稅法，要求當地人報告其加密貨幣持有量並繳納 30% 的資本利得稅。在6 月底實現了100 萬筆零售交易。

Initially limited to local banks, the pilot phase now invites applications from payment firms, with AmazonPay and GooglePay showing interest in enabling e-rupee transactions on their platforms.

試點階段最初僅限於當地銀行，現在邀請支付公司申請，AmazonPay 和 GooglePay 表現出了在其平台上啟用電子盧比交易的興趣。
