Azerbaijan has no specific cryptocurrency legislation but crypto is not banned. Crypto profits are taxable at 14% income tax. The Central Bank is drafting a comprehensive digital asset framework expected by end of 2025, modeled on international best practices. A regulatory sandbox is being developed.

India legalized crypto taxation in the 2022 Union Budget, imposing a flat 30% tax on all crypto gains with no deductions for losses. A 1% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) on crypto transactions above thresholds also applies. The Supreme Court struck down the RBI's 2018 banking ban in 2020, and India is now developing a broader regulatory framework.
