Financial authorities in India have reiterated concerns over cryptocurrency transactions, warning they may complicate tax enforcement.

The warning came during a Wednesday parliamentary committee meeting involving multiple agencies, including the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the Department of Revenue, and the CBDT, which discussed the report “A Study on Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) and Way Forward.”
