印度不准备在不久的将来实施加密货币行业法规

这一声明是为了回应议会成员、总经理 Harish Balayogi 关于政府对加密货币立场的询问。

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

一位政府官员在回应议会询问时表示，印度近期不会对加密货币行业实施任何监管。

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.

财政部长潘卡伊·乔杜里 (Pankaj Chaudhary) 在书面答复国会议员哈里什·巴拉约吉 (Harish Balayogi) 提出的问题时发表了上述声明。 Balayogi 的问题旨在揭示政府对加密货币的立场，特别是政府为了解加密货币领域而进行的研究和举措，以及是否即将出台任何立法。

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 日的答复中确认，“没有提议”来监管加密货币的“销售和购买”，加密货币在印度宪法中被称为虚拟数字资产（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，金融情报中心 (FIU) 被“授权”将 VDASP 作为报告实体进行通知。这些实体须遵守 2002 年《预防洗钱法》(PMLA) 的规定，该法授权监管机构监控洗钱和恐怖主义融资等非法活动。

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.

尽管缺乏全面的监管框架，但包括印度储备银行在内的各种执法机构有能力在现行法律范围内调查非法活动并采取行动。最近，商品及服务税情报总局向币安发出了一份说明理由通知，要求该交易所缴纳 8600 万美元的应缴税款。

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.

关于政府对加密货币的研究，乔杜里指出，没有收集有关加密货币的数据，因为它是一个“不受监管”的部门。他还强调了去年印度担任轮值主席国期间通过的 G20 加密资产路线图。

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.

该路线图源自国际货币基金组织（IMF）和金融稳定委员会（FSB）的联合综合文件，为成员国提供有关加密货币监管的建议。

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.

乔杜里表示，包括印度在内的二十国集团国家目前正在评估与加密货币相关的“特定国家”风险和收益，并计划在考虑任何监管措施之前与全球“标准制定机构”进行协调。

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.

乔杜里的回复没有提及即将发布的讨论文件，据报道该文件将澄清政府对加密货币的立场。上个月，经济事务部长 Ajay Seth 宣布，由多个监管机构组成的部际小组正在遵循 IMF-FSB 指导方针制定“更广泛的加密货币政策”。该论文预计将于 2024 年 9 月之前发布。

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，印度有金融情报机构实施的许可制度，根据 2022 年通过的税法，要求当地人报告其加密货币持有量并缴纳 30% 的资本利得税。该国还在开发其央行数字货币，电子卢比在 6 月底实现了 100 万笔零售交易。

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.

试点阶段最初仅限于当地银行，现在邀请支付公司申请，AmazonPay 和 GooglePay 表现出了在其平台上启用电子卢比交易的兴趣。
