When asked about cryptocurrency, Mitra said, “We are aware of the matter.

The Union Budget 2022-23 has brought clarity regarding the imposition of income tax on crypto assets.

With effect from April 1, 30 percent income tax plus cess and surcharge will be levied on such transactions in the same manner as it treats winnings from horse racing or other speculative transactions.

In addition, the budget proposes 1 percent TDS on payment of virtual currencies in excess of Rs 10,000 in a year and taxation on such gifts at the hands of the recipient.

The TDS limit will be Rs 50,000 per annum for specified individuals, which includes individuals/HUFs who are required to get their accounts audited under the I-T Act.

Explain that only the digital rupee proposed by RBI will be considered as a digital currency, the rest will be kept in the category of the digital asset.

Along with this, it is also important to know that RBI’s proposed digital currency will be used only between two merchants or it can also be used for retail, RBI will decide on it.

It is noteworthy that several finance ministers had announced in their budget speech that RBI would launch a blockchain-based digital currency in the next financial year.

RBI and Finance Ministry are working in perfect harmony on everything except crypto.
