UNDERSTANDING CRYPTOCURRENCY AND ITS REGULATION UNDER PMLA
WHAT IS CRYPTOCURRENCY? Cryptocurrency is a type of digital money that works on blockchain technology. It is decentralized, meaning no government or bank controls it. Examples include Bitcoin and Ethereum.
WHY IS REGULATION IMPORTANT? Since cryptocurrencies can be used worldwide and allow anonymous transactions, they can be misused for illegal activities like money laundering and fraud. Regulations help track and control such misuse.
PMLA & CRYPTOCURRENCY In India, the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) now applies to cryptocurrency transactions. This means crypto businesses must report suspicious transactions, verify customer identities (KYC), and follow anti-money laundering rules.
IMPACT ON CRYPTO USERS If you trade, invest, or deal with cryptocurrencies in India, your transactions may be monitored. Exchanges must follow strict compliance rules, and users must provide proper identification.
PENALTIES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE If crypto businesses or individuals do not follow PMLA rules, they can face fines, legal action, or even account freezes. The goal is to prevent financial crimes and ensure a safer crypto environment.
