India has till now not taken any clear stand on cryptocurrencies and Virtual Digital Assets. The Union Budget of 2022 imposed 30% taxes on profits gained from transactions of virtual assets. However, in the Union Budget of 2023, the Finance Minister had not even mention digital assets once in her 80 minutes talk in the Indian Parliament. The high TDS led to the shifting of the base overseas by Indian consumers. This has taken the Indian digital market to a standstill.
WazirX, Binance dispute over ownership
WazirX also faced the scrutiny of the Indian government when Enforcement Directorate seized assets worth over 69 crores INR citing the reason of money laundering. It laid off over 50 employees stating the reason for the crypto firm. The leading exchange of India is also slashing down its operations due to poor crypto market conditions that prevailed throughout 2022.
The firm has also been in controversy since its dispute with Binance over the ownership of Zanmai Labs, which is a company co-founded by Nischal Shetty, the founder of WazirX, and the parent company of Binance. The disagreement started on Twitter in August 2022 and is related to the reported sale of WazirX to Binance, which was initially announced in November 2019.
