The Supreme Court of India on Wednesday rescinded the order by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prohibiting banks from trading in virtual currency or cryptocurrency. The Supreme Court also held that the decision was unconstitutional.
It’s decision comes after hearing several petitions challenging the RBI’s April 2018 order banning banks or individuals in India from trading in cryptocurrencies.
The decision comes nearly two years after the RBI banned trading in digital currency. While the order repealed the ban on illegal cryptocurrency trading, it is worth noting that the government has already prepared a bill that seeks to prohibit mining, holding, selling, trading or use of cryptocurrency in the country .
It may be noted that under this draft bill, in all the above activities, some cases can be punishable by up to 10 years or with fine or both. However, this bill has not been passed yet and there was a lot of criticism on social media about this bill.
