Finance Panel Seeks Government Response on Virtual Digital Asset Regulation Grey Areas
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance, chaired by Bhartruhari Mahtab, has concluded its year-long study on Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs), identifying unresolved grey areas regarding their regulation. The committee engaged with stakeholders including the RBI and CBDT and expressed concern over the government's current stance of neither accepting nor regulating VDAs, which may allow misuse. A government response is expected next week, after which the committee will finalize and submit its report amid ongoing national discussions on VDA policy.
