The Indian government will not be considering a cryptocurrency-related draft bill during the winter session of Parliament as was previously planned. The draft bill entitled “Banning of Cryptocurrency & Regulation of Official Digital Currencies” is not included in the session agenda issued in India’s lower house of parliament, Lok Sabha, on Nov. 14.
In August 2019, the Indian government stated that the draft bill would be introduced in Parliament in the winter session, which takes place between Nov. 18 and Dec. 13.
