No Regulation

Benin has no specific cryptocurrency regulation. As a WAEMU member, it falls under BCEAO oversight. The BCEAO has warned against crypto but there is no formal ban.

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.
