India aims to explain its policy stance on cryptocurrencies before September, a top government official has said.

The Indian government was expected to make changes to its highly unfriendly tax regime for crypto investors in its annual budget presented Tuesday. But the budget made no such mention, leaving investors frustrated.

The finance ministry will publish a “discussion paper” on crypto policy, outlining its stance on regulation and inviting comments on the same, Economic Affairs Secretary Ajay Seth said in an interview with Moneycontrol.com. He said cryptocurrencies in India are mostly regulated for anti-money laundering and electronic funds transfer.

India’s central bank, and markets regulator Securities аnd еxchange Board of India are likely to participate in the process.

Bharat Web Association, an apex body for Web3 technology companies in India, shared its excitement about the government’s plans for the discussion paper in an X post.
