India May ‘Fast-Track’ Its Proposed Restrictive Crypto Bill: Report

After a new cryptocurrency bill appeared on the scene in India’s legislative system last week, the bill is apparently on a ‘fast track’ to be considered for passage into law. The bill, called the “Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill 2021,” has been a matter of concern for crypto users in India: reportedly, the bill could ban ‘private cryptocurrencies’ and enforce the development of a ‘digital rupee’.

According to a Friday report by CNBC-TV18: “the government may take the ordinance route to pass the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill.”

The ‘ordinance route’ in India seems to be somewhat similar to an executive order in the United States, both practices involve quick legislation that comes from the executive branch of the government. When a bill goes through the ‘ordinance route’, it is put into effect by the president of India at the recommendation of the Union Cabinet. However, ordinances can only be issued when the Indian Parliament is not in session.

Indeed, “they want this bill to be cleared as soon as possible,” said reporter, Timsy Jaipuria, citing unnamed sources. “The cabinet is understood to have given clearance to this particular proposal that this bill can be introduced via an ordinance route in its last meeting which was held on February 3rd.”

“The PMO, Finance Ministry and Cabinet Secretariat have started preparing the draft details of the ordinance. The government is of the firm view that they want to introduce the law within a month of clearance of the ordinance.”

”All Eyes Are on India to Find Out If We’re for or against Innovation.”

However, there is still much to be determined about the bill. In fact, according to Bitcoin.com, very little is known about the bill’s contents; it has not been made public yet. However, reports have said that if passed into law, the bill could have a highly restrictive effect on the crypto industry in India.

Nischal Shetty, crypto activist and Founder of the WazirX exchange, has been encouraging members of India’s crypto community on Twitter to contact their MPs about the bill every day since it appeared. Moreover, Nischal has been at the forefront of the #IndiaWantsBitcoin campaign for 831 days.

Please write to your MPs. It’s important they know crypto matters to you #IndiaWantsCrypto https://t.co/WUZafv1EdQ https://t.co/7nyidsu4am

In partnership with several other exchanges in India, WazirX has launched the exchanges that have launched websites: indiawantscrypto.net and indiawantsbitcoin.org that crypto users can use to send messages to their representatives in parliament.

On Friday, Nischal told CoinDesk that: “Within one day, over 10,000 emails have been sent via indiawantscrypto.net from all parts of the country.”

“It’s a critical…
