The emergence of cryptocurrency has redefined the global financial landscape, introducing both transformative opportunities and complex regulatory challenges. This research paper explores the evolution, technological foundation, and economic implications of cryptocurrencies, with a focus on the Indian legal and taxation frameworks. It offers a comprehensive examination of blockchain technology, the nature and characteristics of key cryptocurrencies, and the legal ambiguity that characterized India's initial approach to digital assets. Special attention is given to the pivotal shift introduced by the Finance Act, 2022, which imposed a 30% tax on crypto gains and a 1% TDS on transactions. The paper further evaluates the regulatory stances of institutions like the RBI, SEBI, and Ministry of Finance, while addressing ongoing challenges related to GST applicability, double taxation, and definitional ambiguities. Through a multidisciplinary lens, this study seeks to clarify the evolving intersection of cryptocurrency and taxation in India and proposes the need for a coherent, innovation-friendly legal framework that balances fiscal accountability with technological progress.
