Cryptocurrency is additionally a type of electronic cash. The thing that matters is that the record of cryptocurrency is kept up at the same time by a large number of PCs rather than a unified element like a bank. Subsequently, the record of digital money can't be altered by any individual or authority. Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin will in general have restricted inventory. This has brought their cost up notwithstanding enormous cash printing by national banks around the globe following the Coronavirus pandemic. 

Blockchain is another innovative framework that is utilized for keeping up records in a way that they can't be handily messed with. The framework can be applied to a record like instructive endorsements, land, or as if there should be an occurrence of digital currency, cash. Governments universally have taken a positive perspective on blockchain and a negative perspective on digital money. This additionally has all the earmarks of being the view taken in the crypto bill to be postponed in the Parliament. In any case, specialists contend that the two can't be isolated. They say blockchain is fuelled by cryptographic money and can't work successfully without the last mentioned.

The Indian government presented a bill during Budget Session, 2021 that would boycott private digital currencies, including Bitcoin. The government aims to present an authority advanced cash that would be straightforwardly given by the Reserve Bank of India. The bill to boycott digital forms of money is among the 20 bills that the government needs to produce during the Union Budget, which was introduced on February 1, 2021. The Minister of State for Finance, Mr. Anurag Thakur in the Parliament additionally said that the public authority would welcome a bill on digital currencies as the current laws are insufficient to manage the issues concerning digital forms of money. 

The bill is named “The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021”.  According to the government sources, it reads that to make a facilitative structure for making the authority advanced cash to be given by the Reserve Bank of India. The Bill tries to restrict all private cryptocurrencies in India, be that as it may, it takes into consideration certain exemptions in advancing the fundamental innovation of digital currency and its uses. Private cryptocurrencies have acquired notoriety as of late. In India, the controllers and governments have been incredulous about these monetary standards and are anxious about the related dangers. By then, RBI is investigating the chance with regards to whether there is a requirement for a computerized form of fiat cash and, on the off chance that there is, the manner by which to operationalize it.  The Indian government doesn't consider cryptocurrency as lawful delicate coins. Thus, the public authority needs to dispose of the utilization of digital forms of money and doesn't need such monetary standards to turn into a piece of the installment framework. Along these lines, it has recorded a bill in the Parliament, looking to bar all private cryptographic forms of money in India, and furthermore lay the foundation for an authority advanced cash. The definite arrangements of the bill have not yet been delivered to general society.

It should be noticed that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had restricted banks from preparing exchanges identifying with cryptographic money in 2018. In any case, the Supreme Court, vide judgment dated March 4, 2020, lifted the boycott. From that point forward, cryptocurrency has been working in the country. Presently, the RBI has additionally explained that it is dealing with a computerized rendition of the rupee, and results were normal soon. A rundown of the bill expressed that it tried to "create a facilitative structure for the formation of the advanced money to be given by the Reserve Bank of India". Prior in 2018, the Reserve Bank of India had restricted crypto exchanges and made all banks aware of quit managing private digital currencies. This ended cryptographic money exchanging India. Be that as it may, in 2020, the Supreme Court ordered crushed the national bank's structure on the grounds of disproportionality. A bill was drafted in 2019 that proposed 10-year jail for individuals who sold or managed digital currencies including Bitcoin. 

According to analysts, the new cryptocurrency bill may affect some current financial backers who are now putting resources into private advanced monetary standards like bitcoin in the country. This is since, supposing that the Middle passes by the proposal of the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) at that point private digital forms of money will be restricted in the country which will naturally make a misfortune the current crypto-financial backers of the country. Notwithstanding, it is as yet not satisfactory if the new enactment will incorporate Bitcoin or Ethereum under the rundown of prohibited private digital currencies. The theory is additionally overflowing that the proposed cryptographic money bill may permit holders of such monetary forms to leave the resource class before its foreseen boycott yet may put a weighty punishment on its change to a lawful resource. Since the itemized arrangements of the bill are not yet known, so there's a great deal of vagueness whether those holding Bitcoins or other digital forms of money should sell them or not. According to the authority gauges, around seventy lakh Indians hold digital currencies worth more than $1 billion.
