Cryptocurrencies regulation across the World
The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021 was listed for introduction in Parliament’s Winter Session.
About the Bill
- The bill aims to create a facilitative framework for the creation of the official digital currency to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India”.
- It seeks to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India, however, it allows for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its uses.
How are cryptocurrencies regulated in countries around the world?
The stance of countries and regulators has ranged from:
- A total ban on these financial assets Ex. China
- Allowing them to operate with some regulations
- Allowing virtual currency trading in the absence of any guidelines Ex. El Salvador
- Governments and regulators remain divided on how to categorize it as a currency or asset — and how to control it from an operational point of view.
- The evolution of the policy and regulatory response has been uncharacteristically discordant, with no apparent coordination in the responses of countries.
Among the countries that haven’t issued detailed regulations, there are those that have recognized and defined these currencies.
[A] CANADA
- It defines virtual currency under its Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Regulations, as:
(a) a digital representation of value that can be used for payment or investment purposes that is not a fiat currency and that can be readily exchanged for funds or for another virtual currency that can be readily exchanged for funds; or
(b) a private key of a cryptographic system that enables a person or entity to have access to a digital representation of value referred to in paragraph (a).
- The Canada Revenue Authority (CRA) generally treats cryptocurrency as a commodity for purposes of the country’s Income Tax Act.
[B] ISRAEL
- Israel in its Supervision of Financial Services Law includes virtual currencies in the definition of financial assets.
- The Israeli securities regulator has ruled that cryptocurrency is a security subject, while the Israel Tax Authority defines cryptocurrency as an asset and demands 25% on capital gains.
[C] GERMANY
- In Germany, the Financial Supervisory Authority qualifies virtual currencies as “units of account” and therefore, “financial instruments”.
- It considers Bitcoin to be a crypto token given that it does not fulfill typical functions of a currency.
- However, citizens and legal entities can buy or trade crypto assets as long as they do it through exchanges and custodians licensed with the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority.
[D] UNITED KINGDOM
- In the UK, Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs, do not consider crypto assets to be currency or money.
- It further notes that cryptocurrencies have a unique identity and cannot, therefore, be directly compared to any other form of investment activity or payment mechanism.
[E] UNITED STATES
- In US different states have different definitions and regulations for cryptocurrencies.
- While the federal government does not recognize cryptocurrencies as legal tender, definitions issued by the states recognize the decentralized nature of virtual currencies.
[F] THAILAND
- In Thailand, digital asset businesses are required to apply for a license, monitor for unfair trading practices, and are considered “financial institutions” for anti-money laundering purposes.
Conclusion
- While most of these countries do not recognize cryptocurrencies as legal tender, they do recognize the value these digital units represent.
- Almost all countries consider their functions as either a medium of exchange, unit of account, or a store of value (any asset that would normally retain purchasing power into the future).
- Like India, several other countries have moved to launch a digital currency backed by their central bank.

Australia’s controversial Religious Discrimination Bill
Australian PM Scott Morrison has introduced a contentious piece of anti-discrimination legislation called the “Religious Discrimination Bill” in their parliament.
What is the Bill about?
- The bill aims to eliminate discrimination on the ground of religious beliefs or activities.
- It will ensure Australians are protected from discrimination on the basis of religious belief or activity.
- The timing of the introduction of this bill, ahead of the federal elections is being seen as an attempt by the Morrison government to target religious voters.
What does the Religious Discrimination Bill say?
- The Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person on the grounds of religious belief or activity in a range of areas of life including work, education, access to premises, and the provision of goods, services, and accommodation.
- Discrimination is unlawful if it occurs, for example, because of a religious belief or activity that the person holds or engages in.
- It is also unlawful if it occurs because of the person’s association with someone else who holds or engages in a religious belief or activity, regardless of whether or not they themselves hold or engage in a religious belief or activity.
Contentious provisions
- The bill also allows faith-based organizations such as religious schools to hire and enrol people from particular faiths.
- The bill states that religious bodies can give preference, “in good faith, to persons who hold or engage in a particular religious belief or activity”.
- It goes on to say that a religious body does not discriminate against a person under this Act by engaging, in good faith, in conduct that a person of the same religion as the religious body could reasonably consider.
Because of this clause, the bill has alarmed some LGBTQI groups and some legal experts who say that the bill will discriminate against gay teachers and students.
Criticisms
- Some critics of the bill see it as a piece of legislation that is legalizing hate.
- Some are questioning the government and asking for proof that people are discriminated against on the basis of religion in the country.
- Further, there are also demands to protect gay students from discrimination.

[Sansad TV] Perspective: Road to Safety
UPSC 2022 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now! (Click here)
Context
- The third Sunday of November every year is observed as the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.
- Globally, over 3500 people die every day on the roads, which amounts to nearly 1.3 million preventable deaths and an estimated 50 million injuries each year – making it the leading killer of people worldwide.
Road Accidents in India
- India recorded 3,74,397 accidental deaths in 2020 with road crashes constituting over 35 per cent of such fatalities, according to government data.
- The number of accidental deaths in 2020 was, however, lower than 2019 when the figure stood at 4,21,104, the annual report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) showed.
- The rate of ‘accidental deaths’ per lakh population stood at 27.7 in 2020, down from 31.4 the previous year.
Road traffic accident casualties bring about a great deal of human suffering in terms of social, medical, and economic costs, and it is crucial we mitigate them.
A global panacea
- Recognizing the enormity of the problem and the need to act, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution in September 2020, proclaiming the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030.
- It set a ambitious target of preventing at least 50% of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030.
- This year marks the beginning of the Second Decade for Action for Road Safety.
- The Global Plan on Improving Road Safety was launched by the United Nations last month, calling on countries to deliver on the resolution’s target by make roads safer.
Causes of Road Accidents in India
There are multiple reasons for road accidents:
- Sub-standard roads: The life of roads is not good due to the substandard raw materials and potholes accidents caused.
- Traffic: The increasing traffic on roads and conditions of roads are not proportionate to each other.
- Use of mobile phone: Most of the people are on call while driving thus they drive recklessly and accidents happen as most of the Indians now have mobile phones.
- Drunk Driving: Drinking makes people lose the ability to focus and function properly. This makes it dangerous for the driver to operate the vehicle.
- Dis-obedience for traffic rules: Indian drivers are quick to learn to drive but they don’t learn traffic rules and the purpose of such rules.
- Malpractices: Malpractices such as over-speeding, triple riding, underage driving, etc are reducing the safety of road users.
- Implementation drawbacks: Police are supposed to execute the rules but, it may be a lack of workforce or lack of intention, they also fail to execute.
- Corrupt practices: Mostly police use the rules to mint money either officially by Chalan or in person.
Issue of non-Conviction
- According to the report by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highway, in 79% of all accidents, the driver was found to be at fault.
- Though this did not mean the person behind the wheel was punished for the crime.
- Conviction rates for urban road accidents typically hover between 5% and 10%.
- In hit-and-run cases, lack of eyewitnesses and surveillance typically leads to a “blind” close of the case if the victim does not note the licence plate number of the vehicle.
Various Policy Initiatives
[A] Motor Vehicles Amendment Act 2019
Some of the important areas of the amendment are as follows
(1) Road Safety
- In the area of road safety, the Act proposes to increase penalties to act as deterrent against traffic violations.
- Stricter provisions are being proposed in respect of offences like juvenile driving, drunken driving, driving without licence, dangerous driving, over-speeding, overloading etc.
- Stricter provisions for helmets have been introduced along with provisions for electronic detection of violations.
(2) Vehicle Fitness
- Automated fitness testing for vehicles has been made mandatory.
- This would reduce corruption in the transport department while improving the road worthiness of the vehicle.
- Penalty has been provided for deliberate violation of safety/environmental regulations as well as for body builders and spare part suppliers.
(3) Recall of Vehicles
- The Act allows the central government to order for recall of motor vehicles if a defect in the vehicle may cause damage to the environment, or the driver, or other road users.
- The manufacturer of the recalled vehicle will be required to:
- reimburse the buyers for the full cost of the vehicle, or
- replace the defective vehicle with another vehicle with similar or better specifications.
(4) Road Safety Board
- A National Road Safety Board, to be created by the central government through a notification to advise the central and state governments on all aspects of road safety and traffic management.
- This would include standards of motor vehicles, registration and licensing of vehicles, standards for road safety, and promotion of new vehicle technology.
(5) Protection of Good Samaritan
- The Act lays down the guidelines and provides rules to prevent harassment of Good Samaritan to encourage people to help road accident victims.
(6) Cashless Treatment during Golden Hour
- The Act provides for a scheme for cashless treatment of road accident victims during golden hour
[B] Old Vehicle Scrappage Policy
- The non-maintenance of old non-compliant vehicles has been a leading cause of road accident.
- With the scrappage policy, there will be some relief from the high risk of road accidents due to old vehicles and old technology.
[C] The 4 ‘E’ Approach
- The Government of India put forth Engineering, Economy, Enforcement and Education as the fundamental areas to focus on in order to ensure road safety.
- The black spot in every state, district and city shall be identified and removed.
- The World Bank and Asian Development Bank have funded to assist the National Highways Authority to remove the black spots and improve the road conditions.
[D] Sadak Suraksha – Jeevan Raksha Initiative
- The MoRTH has started a campaign to establish road safety involving the participation of citizens by promoting several activities like the Road Safety Hackathon, Article writing competition on Road Safety, movie-making on road safety.
- This will bring mass awareness about road safety and educate the citizens.
[E] iRAD Mobile and Web Application
- This is an Integrated Road Accident Database Project initiated by the MoRTH, GOI and funded by World Bank.
- The database would enable the analysis of road accidents and provide the output through data analytics techniques.
- This aims to assure a safe road for all.
Way forward
Road safety education from the primary level: Those already using our roads and driving or riding on it could have formed bad habits that are difficult to change or undo. So it’s important that we catch them young and start educating children on road safety and correct behavior on the road.
Better first aid and paramedic care: In most cases, the public and police are the first ones to reach the site of an accident. But sadly, neither has any first aid training and the police don’t even have even simple things like a first aid box or stretcher. This initial trauma care has to improve.
Stricter criteria for driving licenses: Fortunately, the government has recognized the need for this, and getting a driving license is no longer as easy as before. Lots of the process has been digitalized and made more stringent. But it’s still far from perfect and lots more needs to be done
Better road design, maintenance, and signage: Many of our roads are poorly designed with badly placed junctions, acute corners, uneven gradients, sudden speed-breakers, etc. And this is made worse by poor road maintenance and many accidents occur because a driver suddenly swerves to avoid a pothole.
Heavy crackdown against non-compliance: This is one of the leading causes of road accidents in India and while we do have strict laws, the enforcement, particularly on our highways is quite lax. Consumption of drugs by truck drivers while driving is rampant, and this needs to stop completely.
Stricter enforcement of traffic rules: The Amended Motor Vehicles Act has higher penalties and punishment to deter people from committing traffic offenses and driving rashly. It’s high time we enforced our traffic rules and imposed discipline while driving and using the road.
Encouraging better road behavior: The people should motivate themselves to behave in a better manner on the road. The campaigns such as “Be the Better Guy”, need to be applauded, encouraged and expanded.

What is Pre- Legislative Consultation Policy?
The Union Government has listed 29 Bills (26 new and three pending) to be tabled in the winter session of Parliament.
What is Pre-Legislative Consultation Policy?
- In 2014, the Pre-Legislative Consultation Policy was adopted, mandating a host of rules, including that whenever the Government makes any law, it must place a draft version of it in the public domain for at least 30 days.
- This policy provides a forum for citizens and relevant stakeholders to interact with policymakers.
- The policy also says that along with the draft, a note explaining the law in simple language and justifying the proposal, its financial implication, impact on the environment and fundamental rights, a study on the social and financial costs of the bill, etc. should be uploaded.
- The respective departments should also upload the summary of all the feedback that they receive on the circulated draft.
Why in news?
- Since the inception of the policy, 227 of the 301 bills introduced in Parliament have been presented without any prior consultation.
- Of the 74 placed in the public domain for comment, at least 40 did not adhere to the 30-day deadline.
The inception of the PLCP
- The PLCP was formulated based on the broad recommendations of the National Advisory Council in 2013 and the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution (2002).
- It aimed to create an institutionalized space for public participation in lawmaking processes.
Empowerment through Pre legislative consultation policy
- A Pre legislative consultation policy has numerous merits and can help nudge our country in the right direction.
- Given how diverse this nation is, it is crucial that we have a means for citizens to get directly involved in the formulation of policy decisions, especially those that have a direct stake in the bill and its nature.
- If we fail to do so we will risk falling behind the times. Countries like Britain and South Africa and even the state of Kerala already have already set up effective PLP processes.
- If anything, Kerala’s effective model is proof of how effective this process can be at home.
- Furthermore, this policy has the capacity to make historically marginalized groups feel more included and cared for.
Significance of the policy
- This policy provides a forum for citizens and relevant stakeholders to interact with the policymakers in the executive during the initial stages of lawmaking.
- Protests in the recent past over laws such as the farm laws, the RTI Amendment Act, the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, etc. have all highlighted that there is discontent among relevant stakeholders and the public at large since they were not looped in while framing such laws.
- Public consultations enhance transparency, increase accountability, and could result in the building of an informed Government where citizens are treated as partners and not as subjects.
Status of its implementation
- During the 16th Lok Sabha (May 2014 to May 2019) 186 bills were introduced in Parliament, of which 142 saw no consultation prior to introduction.
- From the 44 bills placed in the public domain for receipt of comments, 24 did not adhere to the 30-day deadline.
- During the 17th Lok Sabha (June 2019 to present), 115 bills were introduced in Parliament, of which 85 saw no consultation prior to introduction.
- From the 30 bills placed in the public domain for receipt of comment, 16 of them did not adhere to the 30-day deadline.
- The tentative schedule for the winter session indicates that a total of 29 bills are listed for introduction and passing. Of these, 17 saw no prior consultation while from the 12 that were placed in the public domain, only six adhered to the 30-day deadline.
Why is implementation difficult?
- Though it is required that the mandates of an approved policy be heeded by all Government departments, the absence of a statutory or constitutional right has watered down its effect.
- The effective implementation of the policy requires subsequent amendments in executive procedural guidelines like the Manual of Parliamentary Procedures and Handbook on Writing Cabinet Notes.
- However, during a subsequent amendment to the Manual of Parliamentary Procedures, the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs ignored the Ministry of Law and Justice when it requested them to incorporate PLCP provisions in the manual.
Conclusion
- Incorporation of pre-legislative consultation in the procedures of the Cabinet, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha etc. should be prioritized.
- Similarly, it must be required of ministers while introducing the bill to place an addendum note on the details of the pre-legislative consultation.
- Empowering citizens with a right to participate in pre-legislative consultations through a statutory and constitutional commitment could be a gamechanger.
