India’s Monetary Intelligence Unit has formally registered 28 Digital Digital Belongings and crypto service suppliers.
The information comes as confirmed by Pankaj Chaudhary, the Minister of State for Finance, in a parliamentary discourse.
This transfer additionally follows the Indian Finance Ministry’s March mandate, requiring crypto companies to align with the Monetary Intelligence Unit, an entity pivotal in combating money laundering. The directive necessitates these companies to stick to the Prevention of Cash Laundering Act (PMLA), mandating stringent verification processes like Know Your Buyer protocols.
A noteworthy side of the ministry’s response is its extension of those tips to offshore crypto exchanges catering to the Indian market, emphasizing that non-compliance will invite motion underneath the PMLA.
Regardless of the registration of distinguished exchanges like CoinDCX, WazirX and CoinSwitch, not one of the 28 registered entities are offshore firms.
