Cryptocurrency is legal in the Czech Republic with a growing regulatory framework aligned with EU standards. Crypto gains are subject to personal income tax at 15% (or 23% for high earners). A 2024 amendment introduced a tax exemption for crypto held over 3 years, effective from 2025.

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.
