SC allows trade in
cryptocurrency, quashes RBI curb
The Supreme Court on
Wednesday struck down the curb on cryptocurrency trade in India,
“SC rules curb on crypto
currency trade illegal,” the report said while adding that the order lifted ban
on trading in virtual currency, cryptocurrency and bitcoins.
the Supreme Court on
Wednesday quashed an order by the Reserve bank of India (RBI) banning financial
services firms from trading in virtual currency or cryptocurrency.
Its decision comes after
hearing several petitions challenging RBI's April 2018 order imposing a ban on
financial firms or individuals in India from trading in cryptocurrencies.
The development comes almost
two years after trading in virtual currency was banned by RBI. While the order
revoked the ban on illegal cryptocurrency trade, it is worth noting that the
government already prepared a draft bill that seeks to prohibit mining,
holding, selling, trade, issuance, disposal or use of cryptocurrency in the
country.
It is worth mentioning that
under the draft bill, all the aforementioned activities can be punished with a
fine or imprisonment up to 10 years, or both in some cases.
The draft bill was prepared
by a government panel which also called for the launch of an official
government-backed digital currency in India to function like banknotes, to be
issued through the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
The government panel, headed
by the then finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg, recommended a fine of up to
250 million rupees ($3.63 million) and imprisonment for up to 10 years for
anyone who mines, generates, holds, sells, transfers or issues cryptocurrency.
