According to a news article from MoneyControl, the government is planning to bring in a new law to ban the trade of cryptocurrencies.
There was a view in the government that banning it through a law would be more binding. It will clearly define the illegality of the trade. We have forwarded a note to related ministries for inter-ministerial discussions, a government official told Moneycontrol on condition of anonymity.
