Cryptocurrency Rule: There is no relief on cryptocurrency right now, RBI gave a shock, know what it said

Cryptocurrency Rule: The Supreme Court had last month directed the Centre to formulate a ‘clear’ policy to regulate cryptocurrencies. The court had also underlined its impact on the economy.

Cryptocurrency Rule: Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Friday said the central bank is concerned about cryptocurrencies as they can disrupt financial stability. While interacting with reporters after presenting the second bi-monthly monetary policy review of the current financial year 2025-26, Malhotra was asked about the developments arising after the Supreme Court’s remarks last month on cryptocurrencies. He said there is nothing new to tell in the case of crypto. Malhotra said, “A committee of the government is looking into it. Of course, as you know we are concerned about crypto as it can disrupt financial stability and monetary policy.”

The Supreme Court had given this direction

The Supreme Court had last month directed the Center to formulate a ‘clear’ policy to regulate cryptocurrencies. The court had also underlined its impact on the economy. A bench of the Supreme Court had termed bitcoin trading as illegal trade just like ‘hawala’ business. India is currently working on a discussion paper for cryptocurrencies and an inter-ministerial group (IMG) is looking into global norms. This inter-ministerial group includes officials from RBI, market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Finance Ministry. Cryptocurrency is not yet illegal in India due to the absence of any law regarding this.

Taxing does not mean legalizing

This ‘discussion paper’ will give stakeholders an opportunity to present their views before India decides its policy stance on cryptocurrencies. The government had announced in 2022 to impose a tax of 30 percent on the profits from cryptocurrencies. Taxing income from cryptocurrencies does not mean legalizing it. Crypto assets are currently not under the purview of regulations in India. Rather, it is being considered from the perspective of anti-money laundering law. Apart from this, income tax and TDS (tax deduction at source) are levied on the income from trading in such digital assets. Also, Goods and Services Tax (GST) is also applicable on cryptocurrency business. It is worth noting that on March 4, 2021, the Supreme Court had canceled a circular of RBI dated April 6, 2018. Through this circular, banks and institutions regulated by RBI were banned from providing virtual currency related services.

Jio’s 51 rupee plan offers plenty of data and 5G users get the freedom to use unlimited internet

Jio RS 51 Recharge
Jio's 51 rupee plan offers plenty of data and 5G users get the freedom to use unlimited internet

Jio’s Rs 51 plan gives 3GB data to 4G users and unlimited data to 5G users. This plan is linked with the active base plan and runs till its validity.

Jio RS 51 Recharge: Reliance Jio is once again proving why it has the most mobile users across the country. Maintaining its style of giving more benefits at a low price, Jio has launched a data pack for Rs 51 which is no less than a gift for internet users.

What is special in this Rs 51 plan?

With this small pack, Jio users get 3 GB of high-speed data. But if you have a 5G smartphone and you have activated Jio’s 5G Welcome Offer, then you can enjoy unlimited 5G data on this pack, that too without any limit.

How does its validity work?

The thing to note is that this plan is not a full recharge plan in itself, but it is added to the existing active plan. That is, if you have already taken a monthly plan with 1.5 GB daily data and your data is exhausted on that day, then you can activate this plan of Rs 51. Then you will get its benefit for the entire remaining month.

Are there any other cheap data packs?

If you need extra data for just one day, then Jio has more low-cost options. For example, the Rs 11 data voucher which comes with a limit of up to 10 GB also runs with unlimited 5G. There is another plan of Rs 49, which gives up to 25 GB of high-speed data for 1 day.

Why is this plan special?

Lots of data at a low price is what users want. And Jio has once again shown that it understands the needs of its customers first. If you get unlimited 5G data or 3 GB top-up for a month for Rs 51, then what can be a better deal than this?

If you also work on the Internet all day, watch videos or are fond of gaming, then this small but powerful plan of Jio can do the whole work without being heavy on your pocket.
