☆ No issue with crypto in India if laws are followed - minister

NEW DELHI, Jan 19 (Reuters) - India's junior IT minister on Thursday said there was no issue with cryptocurrencies in India if all laws are followed, in remarks that contradicted the central bank's view advising investors to stay away from crypto. India has been trying to come up with regulation for cryptocurrencies, with a central bank deputy governor even calling for them to be banned, but the government has not been able to formulate legislation yet. In Febraury, a deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), T. Rabi Sankar, said cryptocurrencies were akin to Ponzi schemes or worse and banning them was the most sensible option for India. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das also said in February that cryptocurrencies lacked the underlying value of even a tulip.

NEW DELHI, Oct 29 (Reuters) - India continues to favour a self-regulatory body for social media content disputes, a federal minister told Reuters, despite a lack of consensus among Big Tech companies to form a joint appeals panel. Decisions about social media content have been a particularly thorny issue in India. During a press briefing on Saturday, Chandrasekhar said the current system of in-house grievance redressal at tech companies was "broken". The government panel "is a signal to them (social media firms) that they need to up their game," Chandrasekhar told Reuters.

NEW DELHI, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter will not change India's expectation that it will comply with the country's rules for such companies, a government minister told Reuters on Friday, adding that India's new IT rules would be out in days. Twitter in July asked an Indian court to overturn some government orders to remove content from the platform. "Our rules and laws for intermediaries remain the same regardless of who owns the platforms," said Rajeev Chandrasekhar, India’s minister of state for electronics and information technology. "So, the expectation of compliance with Indian laws and rules remains." Ranaut, an ardent supporter of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, also shared requests from users who appealed to Musk to restore her Twitter account.
