India on Blockchain: Future Regulation after the newly elected government

India is the biggest democratic government in the World. The main elections as of late finished up yesterday, on the 23rd May 2019, whereby the current party won the election race again as the general population of the country picked Narendra Modi as their Prime Minister for the second time.

As far back as the Indian elections started on April 11th, 2019, the country has been under ‘Aachar Sanhita’, as per which the Government can pass no new law. Since the decisions have finished and the outcomes have been declared, resulting administrative changes inside the blockchain and the cryptocurrency space can likewise be relied upon to be made.

Trader commits suicide

A couple of days before the election results were uncovered, a Bitcoin broker from India ended his very own life in the wake of being compromised by senior police in connection to misfortunes he caused while exchanging crypto resources for their benefit. In his suicide note, he unequivocally states:

“DySP [Deputy Superintendent] Chirag Savani had come to my house to invest in five bitcoins. After incurring a loss due to slide in their value, Chirag and his brother Montu [Harnish] were demanding 11.575 Bitcoin. I am distraught due to the recovery they are claiming. My life is not worth living. DySP Chirag Savani came to my house and threatened me to return the amount they had invested. I have been forced to commit suicide. The two brothers (Chirag and Harnish Savani) are responsible for my act.”

Experts are as yet researching this occurrence however it indicates out the grave truth that the by and large boycott of crypto exchanging crosswise over India has its negative impacts through bootleg market exchanging episodes.

Upcoming Blockchain Agenda

As indicated by the decision of the BJP gathering’s affirmation, it perceives blockchain innovation as an apparatus to be conceivably utilized for improvement explicitly in small independent businesses and farming.  It states:

“Machine Learning, Blockchain technology, Big Data analytics, etc. for more predictive and pro table precision agriculture. They will expose MSMEs to Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, BlockChain technology, and Etc. The report of the Committee is in the finalisation stage, hence, prohibited under section 8(3) of RTI Act, 2005,”

Moreover, even with the progressing cryptocurrency exchanging boycott place, the Department of Economic Affairs in India referenced in January 2019 that digital currency guidelines are in its last phases of planning. This would be an enormous advance in the positive direction for the country’s headway in the blockchain industry, where it falls extensively behind other Asian nations like Hong Kong and South Korea.

However, India has as of late been in the spotlight for its Ponzi plans and trick ventures acting like ICOs and real blockchain use-cases alongside illegal tax avoidance cases. As Evan Luthra, a business person, and blockchain evangelist clarifies about the present situation of digital currencies in India,

“While we see a lot of progress happening in India and multiple state governments pressing forward with blockchain and blockchain based solutions, India has also been the leader when it comes to scam projects.”

Conclusive Thoughts

It is very clear that an all out restriction on the exchanging of digital currencies would not just retard the development of the blockchain business but also that of supporting enterprises like Fintech and Venture Capital. For instance, Facebook is supposedly meaning to likewise start its digital money venture with Whatsapp in India. Their venture Libra is reportedly in its last period of testing and advancement. In this manner, the potential outcomes are boundless with the business and it is in light of a legitimate concern for governments to encourage their development through well-characterized administrative positions.

Finally, there is as yet a hint of something to look forward to for a superior future for digital money guidelines inside India. The boycott forced by the Indian Central Bank after 5th July 2018 was put to challenge under the watchful eye of the Federal Courts. The choice to deliberately control digital forms of money and blockchain advancement in India could subsequently grow its potential through expanded assets and mastery in R&D.
