You can find the copy here.

I have shared some of my opinions over it in the past when the Bloomberg article came out and I don't see a lot changing at the moment. But it's not official until it's passed by the government so don't panic.

Remember this is not a draft bill from any government agency and could have been drafted privately by an MP for example. So don't jump the gun with panic sentiments.

I think this is a private bill. There was a bit about it on the RSTV (Rajya Sabha TV) and they were saying that this is a private member bill. Also, in a recent Parliament session, Aurag Thakur the MoS for finance answered a question regarding cryptocurrencies and he said that, "The issue of permitting trading in crypto currencies is being examined by an inter-ministerial committee".

So when is the decision whether it is passed or not because it is a very important decision for our Indian community as well as crypto community as India contributes a huge part to crypto .

Scary stuff.

It is sad that people with half baked knowledge will define the crypto scene in India. Although, I understand the concern of this becoming a parallel economy and therefore to a certain amount a conduit for nefarious activities. But then honest users are left behind. Interestingly, almost all IT companies in India are now consulting in blockchain, not to mention a couple of implementations too. Too shortsighted!
