Speaking in Doha, Qatar, Union Minister Piyush Goyal made a strong statement on cryptocurrency, saying India does not encourage crypto that lacks sovereign or asset backing. He clarified that while there is no official ban, crypto is being heavily taxed to discourage risky investments without government protection.

This Digital Rupee will function like traditional currency but with advanced technology.
