【翻译】印度财政部长：比特币不是法定货币

 

印度财政部长阿伦·贾特里（Arun Jaitley）已经明确表示，政府不会承认比特币是法定货币。

 

据报道，当被问到政府是否计划监管这一加密货币时，Jaitley告诉记者：“我们正在研究（研讨小组的）建议。”

 

他继续说道：政府的立场很清楚，我们目前不会承认它是合法货币。

 

据悉，财政部已经通知议会，印度央行（RBI）并未在国内发行任何加密货币运营许可证。财政部还指出，该国尚未部署任何管理虚拟货币的监管规则。

 

今年4月，印度政府开始计划制定加密货币监管法案，成立了一个跨学科委员会，央行、税务局和金融服务部门等机构都是委员会的成员。

 

然而，就在上个月，印度最高法院催促政府回应社会上监管比特币的呼声。

 

另外，由于对比特币匿名性和潜在非法用例的担忧，司法部门还发布了一个公告，告知央行和其它机构对监管比特币的请愿作出回应。

India's finance minister, Arun Jaitley, has clarified that the government does not recognize bitcoin as legal tender.

 

According to the Economic Times, when asked about the government's plans to regulate the cryptocurrency, Jaitley told reporters, "recommendations are being worked at."

 

He continued:

 

"The government's position is clear, we don't recognize this as legal currency as of now."

 

According to the Times, the minister has previously informed the Indian parliament that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the country's central bank, has not issued any licenses to operate with cryptocurrencies in the country. He further informed the parliament that the country does not have any regulations governing virtual currencies.

 

Back in April, the Indian government moved closer to developing cryptocurrency regulations, setting up an interdisciplinary committee including the Reserve Bank, the Ministry of Revenue, the Department of Financial Services, and others.

 

However, just last month, the Indian Supreme Court pushed the government to respond to calls to regulate bitcoin.

 

Concerned over bitcoin's anonymity and its potential illicit uses, justices issued a notice to the central bank and other agencies asking them to answer a petition on the matter, reports indicated.
