*Prohibition of Virtual Currency*

The Reserve Bank of India, vide circular bearing reference number RBI/2017-2018/154 dated April 6, 2018, has prohibited entities regulated by RBI from dealing in virtual currencies, including Bitcoin (“Virtual Currencies”) or providing services (including maintenance of accounts, registering, trading, settling, clearing, giving loans, collateral, transfer of money in accounts relating to purchase of Virtual Currencies) for facilitating any person or entity in dealing with or settling Virtual Currencies.

All the entities regulated by RBI which already provide such services are required comply with this circular and cease performing such services within 3 (three) months from the date of the circular.

Background on Blockchain Technology

Most modern Virtual Currencies are based on blockchain technology. The blockchain is a decentralised method of storing records and transaction data. Instead of records being maintained with a central bank or server, every participant in the system (or peer) maintains part of the records. This results in records being stored very securely, and free of manipulation, as majority approval from the participants in the system is required to modify existing records. The system also guarantees a high degree of anonymity.
In virtual currencies prior to blockchain technology (such as the e-wallets most of us use) currency is represented by "files" or "tokens", which can be duplicated or manipulated, leading to a problem of double spending.
While blockchain-based Virtual Currencies are fundamentally a superior technology, backed by people such as whistle-blower Julian Assange and security experts such as John McAfee (who created McAfee Antivirus, the first antivirus software), the system has been plagued by frauds, with entire exchanges disappearing overnight. There have also been instances of Virtual Currencies being used for illegal transactions, such as payments for contraband and assassinations.

8.3 GSTN shall communicate directly with the taxpayers in this regard and submit a final report to GIC about the number of TRAN-1s filed and submitted through this process.
